Why the Crusades were a vital defense against Islam

The First Crusades began during the Middle Ages in the year 1095 as the result of a cry for help against invading Islamic armies.
• 460 years after the first Christian city was overrun.
• 457 years after Jerusalem was conquered.
• 453 years after Egypt was taken from Christendom.
• 443 years after Muslim armies invaded and plundered Italy.
• 427 years after Muslim armies first laid siege to Christendom's Eastern Capital of Constantinople.
• 380 years after Spain was conquered by Muslim armies.
• 363 years after France was first invaded by Muslim armies.
• 249 years after Rome itself was attacked by Muslim armies (which is why the Vatican has that wall).

This was only AFTER four centuries of church burnings, killings, enslavement and forced conversions of Christians.
By the time the Crusades began, 3/4 of the Christian world had been conquered and its people forced to convert or enslaved under Islam.

Without the sacrifices and the heroic defense of Europe made by
• Charles Martel, the Battle of Tours in 732
• The Templar Knights 1129 -1312
• El Cid's reconquest in 1085
• the Venetian fleet at Le Panto 1571
• the Polish and Austrian knights at the Gates of Vienna in 1683
• the Serbian Hajduks fighting off the Ottoman Turks 1804
Europe would have been converted to Islam, like the Middle East and North Africa were

During this ongoing jihad that began in the 7th century, 3/4ths of Christendom’s original territory – all of North Africa, Egypt, Greater Syria and Anatolia (Asia Minor, Turkey) – was permanently swallowed up by Islam.
