When the crusaders marched on the MiddleEast killing Moslems, they did so in the name of Christ, felt that the Spirit of Christ protected them, and believed that if they died in battle that they would go straight to heaven as martyrs for their faith. When they took the city of Jerusalem, they killed 40,000 Moslems in two days - - men, women and children - - by hand.
The Koran instructs that Moslems should never initiate warfare against any other tribe/nation, but may only take up arms in self-defense.
Even after the slaughter in Jerusalem, it took another 70 years or so, numerous similar slaughters, and an attack on Mecca by an army of Crusaders before the Moslems began fighting in earnest to win back their land.
Nearly 1,000 years later: Karma.
