quote:

says any pope during the crusades.



Pope Urban II was more than justified for calling for a Crusade in 1095. Islam had been snuffing out Christianity in the Middle East and North Africa since the 7th Century. Had it not been for Charles Martel at the Battle of Tours in France in 782, Islam would have more than likely snuffed out Christianity in Europe.

Once Islam started to encroach upon Christian holdings in the Eastern Empire, what else could Pope Urban II do but call for the reclaiming of Christian lands lost to Muslim conquerers?
