Jerusalem is a holy city for Christians. The city is located in Palestine, precisely along the east coast of the Mediterranean Sea. During the Palestine led by the Abbasid Caliph, Christian people of Europe are still allowed to make pilgrimages to Jerusalem. However, since Jerusalem ruled by the Seljuk Turks, they were forbidden to come there. As a result, the rhetorical use of European nations that are predominantly Christians took Jerusalem.
The leader of the Byzantine (Eastern Roman) Emperor Maksius asked for help from Pope Urban II in Rome, Italy, to attack Palestinians and take the holy city of Jerusalem from the hands of the Seljuk Turks. Then in 1095, Pope Urban II asked for the kings of Europe to provide troops to go to Jerusalem. The army was by the Europeans called the Crusaders.
In 1095 there was a stampede toward the Palestinians. Pope Urban II called for the freeing of all Palestinian Islamic rule. The raid was called the Crusades. Crusades occurred around the year1096-1291 between the crusaders and the Seljuk Turks who ruled in Jerusalem. This war lasted up to seven times the waves of war. One-time crusader and won six times by the Seljuk Turks. Crusade claimed as a religious war, between Christianity and Islam. In fact, if wisely and objectively examined, not so. This can be proved that the wave of warfare with one another that created an atmosphere of peace between Christians with Muslims. Trade around the Mediterranean Sea involving Christians and Muslims remain crowded. Both people are still living peacefully. So crusade is just a political war between the kingdoms of Europe with the power of Islam in West Asia.
