It was the beginning of hatred between Christians and Muslims. They have never forgiven Christians for invading the Holyland and murdering their people.

The Crusades were a true quest that got battered to death on mankind's greed.
The worst of the Christian Crusades was the one called the "Children's Crusade." Thousands of Children and young people started out from Europe to do what the adult crusaders could not attain. There innocence and Jesus were supposed to protect them and make them soldiers of Christ. It was fanatical Christianity at its worst. They took ship for the Holy land and only 300 to 500 returned and nobody even knows whether they had ever reached the Holy Land.
On the other hand the crusades proved to the militant Christians and Muslims they could war for a millennia if they wished.

Although they had little effect on the Muslims, they opened the eyes of the Christians to the wonders of the East. Without the Crusades Christian Europe would have had to go without spices, silk, bright clothing dyes, algebra, glass blowing, paper, the compass, tarot cards, Arabic numerals, and many other goods and ideas found in the Middle East and Asia. The Crusades are the beginning of the modern world. After the Muslims closed off land routes to the east , Europeans began their search for water routes which eventually lead to the European Age of Discovery.

The Crusades hindered Muslim expansion in former Christian lands and Europe from being invaded by the Muslims.
Without the Crusades you and I would today live under the yoke of Islamism and Sharia law.
