an oxymoron.

That's where the crusader knows for sure that he's right and expects everyone else to know it too. By that definition I guess Bush's war really is a moral crusade.
People and groups that wage "morale crusades" still live in the medieval world of absolutism. They tend to see things only in terms of black and white. They view others as being for them or against them only. They often engage in either/or thinking, usually a fallacy. Frequently they will not even entertain a 2-way communication with those they view as foes. Simply put they allow nothing to get in the way of their moral absolutism. To them, theirs is the only true standard and they cling to it fanatically as though for dear life. The poor things probably couldn't survive in the real world of moral relativism should they ever decide to attempt it. They would likely perish from the chaos they would perceive to exist in that real world. That in the final analysis is why they dare not let go of their absolute standard for so much as an instant. What else? Oh, did I mention that they're not big on empathy or very good at it?

Attempting to use moral reasons as justification for large-scale action, whether it be war, political activism, or anything else. The famous Crusades were moral crusades, as is the attempt to get same sex marriages banned, as is the attempt to get same sex marriages legalized. The problem with moral crusades is that there's no one universally accepted objective moral truth. Don't tell me religion, because its not universally accepted.
People really should take all "moral crusades" with a large grain of salt, even if they are in favor of it. Try to find real concrete justification for your cause before you throw your support behind it.

your best bet would be to ask someone who is either gay or Muslim that question as they would have some first hand experience dealing with a moral crusade.

Usually it's an oxymoron - people acting immorally in the name of morality.
