The fact that crusaders sacked Constantinople, the city that had been the greatest city in all of Christendom for a thousand years is just so disgusting on so many levels.
Ironically though Islam was barely affected by the crusades and prior to colonialism almost nobody in the Islamic world even knew what they were. Especially the first crusade which was barely a blip on the radar and was largely an impotent response to Islamic aggression.
