Those who infer that the Crusades were a terrible blight on Christianity--you could be no less correct! There were needless slaughters, but this was by Crusaders and Muslims also. Muslim atrocities were just as bad. The Crusades were begun because Muslim armies were threatening the Eastern Empire at Constantinople, and they had invaded the Holy Land. The Muslims were molesting Christian pilgrims by robing and murdering many enroute the Holy Land.
In hindsight, if brave crusaders and Charles Martel did not stop the Muslim invasion of Europe at the gates of Vienna, we would all be whacking our heads on a floor to a God who is not there (Allah) five times a day. We would also be living in the living hell which is Islam. And there would be no enlightenment or advances in culture.
Most likely we would all be starving and impoverished also, as most "so-called enlightened " Muslim countries are now.
We would all be made to think the Muslim Terrorist Mohammed was anything other than a faker.
The proof of this is all the misery and murders and desolation Muslim armies did when they invaded India, and what they are doing to Christians even today in all Muslim lands from Indonesia to Saudi Arabia.
