Seems there was a war one time(allegedly, if you believe always changing history)over this same thing.

It depends on where in the world you're looking. There are Christians being persecuted all the time in other countries. Try being a Christian in Iran or Pakistan, for example. It just doesn't get any mainstream attention.

Christians are still the most persecuted religious group in the world, afaik.

The Crusades weren't really about persecution so much as a territorial dispute.

It depends. Military crusades launched by the Church, their militant monastic orders, and Christian kingdoms were generally about political and territorial concerns.

It was the spontaneous "people's" crusades that degenerated into wanton violence often at the behest of false prophets.
