Abstract :The crusades encompass so many factors that attempts to treat them as colonialism, papal hegemony theory loot theory etc. Historians from the Near East and non-European countries once saw the crusades as the first emergence of a cyclical European colonialism which would lead to Columbus, the British empire, and the partitioning of the globe following World War Two. Without doubt, the crusades were wars of expansion window-dressed with religion. These invasion had perennial effect both in Muslim and in Christian Worlds. Through these clashes the West had recognized a totaly alien world with its developed cultured and accordingly in this period transferred much to its homeland. On the contrary, Muslim world seems to have developed an introversion and thus have fossilized its main stream. It is not an exaggeration to claim that invasion of Bağdat by Mongols and that of Muslim land by Crusaders are among the main reasons to account for its underdevelopment
