FIRST HOLY WAR The Difference Between the Christians and Muslims Which made the Crusades Inevitable In the year 1095 Pope Urban II addressed the Christian people with this statement “ The Muslims have concurred Jerusalem”. Pope Urban II called for a great Christian expedition to free Jerusalem but the Muslims did not want any Christians of any kind in Jerusalem for any reason even prayer. With this conflict between both groups the crusades have begun because of differences between Christians and Muslims. Islam posed the threat of a rival culture and religion, which caused the Christians to fear the fact that the Muslims where spreading and becoming more dominate. The Christian Crusaders faced many obstacles. They had no specific leader, no conventional wisdom about relations with the churchmen who went with them, no definition of the popes role, and no agreement with the Byzantine emperor on whether they where his allies or enemies. christian, muslims, christians, jerusalem, crusaders, crusades, between, under, new, campaign, within, victory, urban, transport, pope, peace, made, land, inevitable, ii, holy, groups, economy, differences, culture, been, year, wisdom, whole, whether, western, west, war, very, uncertainties
