Christianity and Islam were two fairly new religions growing and branching out in the world. Although Islam had a late start (600 Years) it quickly spread through out the middle east due to the good missionaries. Soon both religions would gain more and more territory getting closer and closer setting themselves up for a collision course with each other.
When each religion heard of the other they basically had the same reaction. Both Islam and Christianity immediately started to dislike each other. They had diluted and warped images of the religion and thought they were savages or insane. Ironically both religions had a lot in common. Both were monotheistic religions. They each worshiped one individual God. Also both religions had a goal to convert other people. This was what basically caused them to have their conflict as well.
