If I'm not totally mistaken it was more of a response to the expansion
of several peoples/tribes and factually less religiosly motivatet. The
Vatikan presented the whole thing as a threatening of the holy land by
barbarians in order to provoke enough response from european rulers.

and western european media tend to have.
Just to name one example: the reaction of french and italian Muslims to

amazing. The outcry was loud and well heard.
