You don't know what you are talking about. "Crusading" literally meant
to take up the cross to fight the Muslim infidels, except when it was
used as an excuse to pillage and loot Christian Byzantium. Musselmen
would not become Crusaders. Moorish Spain, like the rest of the
Islamic world, was a haven of tolerance for the other peoples of the
Book, unlike the areas that enjoyed the benefits of the reconquista
where the Jews and Moors were either expelled or forced to convert to
Christianity.
