It was not so much an act of aggression as it was an act of protection. Christians in those areas, people as well as traders, were killed and taken into slavery.

You really think Christians wanted to March down until a dessert region thousands of miles from home just for the fun of it? Christians were under attack in the region.

Not saying it was all sunshine and rainbows, but the notion that the crusades were about spreading Christianity is not accurate.
