crusades were started by Christians against muslims.Churh had told christians all over world that at the end of first millenium,there will be what you call doom's day.So some idiots thought that it is better to die at juraselam as it is the birth place of jesus.At that time jurasalem was ruled by ottaman turks.Christians came to jurasalem in thousands to die.sudden influx was not liked by ottaman turks.to the surprise of christians noting happened at the end or begining of new millenium.They were literally thrown by ottaman turks.some of these christians went to pope and told him about the treatment by turks.almost 60 years after this incident pope ordered crusades against muslims
