Were the Crusades a justified response to Muslim aggression?

Asked by Demosthenes (14926points) November 1st, 2019

There’s been enough discussion of contemporary issues and politics; let’s argue about the past! I have a few questions in mind. Feel to answer only one of them:

1. Were the Crusades a justified response to Muslim aggression against the Christian world?
2. What is the legacy of Crusades and how they relate to current clashes between the Muslim Middle East and the West?
3. Is it appropriate to make comparisons between the Christian Crusades and modern Islamic terrorism as examples of violence in the name of religion?
