The Crusades were a defensive RESPONSE to 500+ years of Muslim provocation intended to attack the root of the problem and stop the Muslim invaders from messing with us.
And... THEY WORKED!
Yo Pope, it’s called SELF DEFENSE !
It's true. The "Highway of Death" equivalent for the Crusades was the torturous force of conversion and heresy trials. Had they just stopped and slaughtering the Muslims, well..... never mind.
