I stated the relation in the OP:

No wonder the crusaders ate the flesh of Muslims in the crusades.
Poverty is what Crusaders fought to escape. Europe was a muddy, wet and dark continent that they suffered in for decades. Of course you are familiar with what Pope Urban said:
Quote:https://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/14/books...riors.html
"'A grave report has come from the lands around Jerusalem...that a race absolutely alien to God...has invaded the land of the Christians....They have either razed the churches of God to the ground or enslaved them to their own rites....They cut open the navels of those whom they choose to torment...drag them around and flog them before killing them as they lie on the ground with all their entrails out....What can I say of the appalling violation of women? On whom does the task lie of avenging this, if not on you?...Take the road to the Holy Sepulchre, rescue that land and rule over it yourselves, for that land, as scripture says, floweth with milk and honey....Take this road for the remission of your sins, assured of the unfading glory of the kingdom of heaven.' When Pope Urban had said these things...everyone shouted in unison: 'Deus vult! Deus vult!,' 'God wills it! God wills it!' "
The racist, xenophobic dog gathered the campaign to loot the lands of Muslims.
The crusaders came for rivers of milk and honey, the savages ate Muslims and even looted their own allies at Constantinople. Ain't a history to be proud of, if I was a Christian.
Now; I really understand where the legends of zombies eating the flesh of other humans came from.
