The Crusades were unjust anyway you look at it. They didn't follow any true christian principle. Just as the Slavery of Africans in the 14th thru the 19th centuries was stupidly unjust and ignorant.
The ancestors of western europeans (and americans once there were any) were not really very nice a lot of the time, they were also quite ignorant and rude...but hey, we grow as a species, and the eastern cultures had their own petty foibles and nastinesses as well.
