they will were the "Enemy within"

They were intended to be.

After that it just got outrageous and out of hand

The rest were

mistakes.
That had little to do with christanity.
and were just ambitious peasants.
crusades themselves had little to do with christianity
Well, at first they conquered the Holy Land then the Crusaders were like 'we can't have that' and centuries of getting their asses handed to them ensued

Crusades were in response to the southern war religion encroaching. They were offensive but were well justified.
What WASN'T justified were the instances of pillaging like the sack of Constantinople during the fourth(?) crusade. They sacked their own religious bretheren because the leaders of the crusade from Venice had it out for the Byzantines
Most wars are never for religion, but for political power. They just use religion as a means of convincing people to support said war.

There's nothing wrong with offence.
That's how you win.
