There's an increasingly common response to that one - especially since the Perpetual War started - that the Crusades were misunderstood. See, they were entirely justified, defensive actions, because Muslim armies penetrated well into Europe three centuries before and three centuries after the Crusades began and ended!
When people start revising their entire history to, well, justify the war in Iraq, you start seeing all sorts of silly shit like that.
