“[t]he crusades, first and foremost, was a war against Muslims for the defense of the Christian faith,” and Muslims have a similar narrative against Christians. As both crusaders and mujahedeen believe in God and afterlife world, the idea that “it is the will of God” makes the idea of death in the battlefield more digestible, if not attractive.
