Infidels are Jews and Christians
Crusaders are Catholics, but could also be Jews and Christians
Hopefully, Muslims in America are not saying this. If so, my Muslim brothers and sisters - go back where you came from.
America does not need you.

Infidel
(Arabic term KAFIR) "Unbeliever in the God of Abraham"
also used for one who has betrayed the faith.
Muslims, Jews and Christians are all 'Believers' by the Qu'ran.
Anyone else is free to be put to the sword......
Crusader
One who participated in the Crusades to retake Jerusalem.
In 1063, the Pope gave the 'go-ahead' to begin fighting Muslims under a Papal Banner. The Spanish and Byzantines had been attacked by the Muslims over 400 years previously by the First Jihad. The 'Musselmen' of Northern Africa invaded Spain in the first of many attacks upon previously Christian holdings.
Spain was nearly completely conquered by the Muslims in 711 C.E. and the Byzantine Empire had lost 50% of its territory by 1050 C.E. to a growing Muslim presence in the Mediterranean.
In 1095 the 1st Crusade was launched in an effort to prevent the Muslims from seizing Anatolia from the Byzantine Empire. Simultaneously the Spaniards launched the 'ReConquista' to re-take their homeland from the Muslims.

Infidels were a Canadian funk-rock band in the 1990s.
The Crusaders was the name of two superhero teams, both based in World War II, both created by a villain, and both dating from 1977. One team appeared in DC Comics' Freedom Fighters, the other in Marvel Comics The Invaders. Both were intended as a pastiche of the other company's team, creating a crossover of sorts.

Infidels means anyone who doesn't believe that Mohammed (peace be upon him) is the last prophet of Allah.
Crudasders were the Europeans of the 11th through the 14th centuries AD who tried to retrieve Jerusalem from Muslim control. They never fully succeeded but believed that they were on a mission to restore the sacred places of Christianity into the hands of Christians. They were backed financially by the popes and potentates of Europe.

infidels are non Muslims.
Crusaders are Middle ages European Christian warriors/knights/etc. who conquered the holy land by the end of the first millennium, performed many atrocities to the non Catholic population on the way to the holy land and in the holy land, and remained in power in the holy land for a few centuries, until driven off by the Muslims of the middle east.

Infidels are people who do not believe in and follow Islam. Most of us in the world they consider infildels, and the fundamentalists apparently think we should be done away with.
