Although the Crusades were for a reason which you also now,I do not agree with any form of violence.Christ taught those who live by the sword would die by it.I will lay down what Christ taught:"But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;"(Matthew 5:44).Moreover, "Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord."(Romans 12:19) explains the stand a Christian should take in such situations.
