The Intrusive & Physically Violent Islamic Jihad against Christendom has been an Ongoing Enterprise & the Way of the Muslim, dating as far back as 634 CE
Perhaps you remember. Barack Obama made it sound as if the Muslims were in Jerusalem, polishing their holy holy halos, when all of a sudden, these evil evil white guys in armor came riding into town ... as if no Christian had ever been in Jerusalem before.
Uhmmmm, Christianity, as was lead by Saints Peter, Philip, John, and James, along with the rest of the dedicated witnesses of Jesus the Nazarene, began in Jerusalem on Pentecost Sunday.
Many who were there, at the Jerusalem Pentecost, ended up dying for their faith unarmed ... ~while NOT performing a suicide bombing on a Tel Aviv bus, ... ~and while NOT flying a hijacked jetliner into a skyscraper filled with unarmed office workers.
Only AFTER 461 years of continued Muslim Military Aggression upon Christian lands did the first Crusade transpire
The reality is that Muslims were attacking Christian lands hundreds of years before the Crusades even began. Those centuries of Muslim Aggression were the one continuous reason for finally embarking on the Crusades, in the first place. And of course, Barack Obama did NOT tell you this.
Note: The list above left out the Invasion of Gaul, in 719.
The list below does not.
The Year 2025 minus the Year 634 = 1,391 years of Muslim Aggression, committed by those sometimes named, the Ishmaelites, "the Believers," "the Saracens," and/or the "Mohammedans."
Then there was the matter of Muslims invading Zoroastrian lands with full military attacks. That began in 633 AD. By 651, the Muslims had destroyed the Sasanian Empire of the ancient Iranians.
The One MAIN Exception Occurred in 638,
under Caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab.
He decreed that Christians would be given protection from violence when in Jerusalem. Jews were allowed to return there, too. These civil rights were signed by Caliph Umar, in the "Assurance of Umar."
As time proceed, the Jews ended up have amicable relations with the Muslim Moors, in Granada Spain. That is located in Southeast Spain, near the Mediterranean Sea.
This caused the Spanish Crown to conclude that the Jews were accomplices in the Muslims controlling Spain for 700+ years. This is why Isabella ordered all non-convert Jews to leave Spain.
Isabella was afraid that Jews would conspire with Moors and retake Spain. And of course, Spain was liberated in 1492. This is why Columbus embarked on his expedition on the Atlantic Ocean in that same year.
Now, in 1085, Catholic forces under Alfonso VI, recaptured Toledo, being that Toledo was part of a small Muslim kingdom within the larger Moorish kingdom. Such a mini-kingdom is a "Taifa." Thus, 1085 can be regarded as the prelude to the Crusades which officially started in 1095.
The first crusade actually was a success for the Catholics who simply wanted the freedom to live-in and travel-to their prime place of pilgrimage, the land where Jesus the Nazarene performed his miracles, and where Elijah and Elias performed their miracles, etc.
Then came the events of the Year 1095
Now, the Middle Eastern Crusades began in 1095 (CE). Muslim aggression upon Christian lands began in 634 (CE). In as much ... 1095 minus 634 = 461.
All in all, 461 years of Muslim Military Aggression occurred before the first Crusade even began. Below is a list of 11th Century Muslim attacks upon Christian lands which gave reason for the specific Crusade which began at the end of the 11th Century.
Connect the Dots

| Above: Posted pursuant to 17 USC 107. The red dots are places where the Muslims invaded and then engaged in warfare ... from 633 to the Year 1080. Take note that the European Crusades did not begin until the Year 1095. |
Now, if you capture a staging area, you prevent a major invasion. So, the motive for the Crusades was to safeguard Greece. Thus, territories in the Middle East needed to be taken away from the Muslims. This included Jerusalem, a place which also had sentimental value for any Christian. After all, at one time, in centuries prior, Jerusalem was a part of the Catholic Byzantine Empire.
Concurrence
Below is the video of Iranian-born Goldie Ghamari. She was a member of the Ontario Canada provincial parliament until January 2025. Her video explains the Crusades in general ... in brevity.
She is the one who said that the Crusades were a response to the Islamic Jihad. She also said that, if it were not for the Crusades, every person of European ancestry would be speaking Arabic, and every European woman would be wearing a burka as a requirement.

And yes, approximately 50,000 of the 75,000 Iranian mosques have been closed, due to lack of interest amongst the Iranians. Thus, the Liberation of Persia/Iran isn't an impossibility.
