(1) fair enough
(2) regardless of size of groups, only one side has incentive to kill, incite or destroy. There are no agnostic crusades of "maybe". If you're shrugging your shoulders, or trying to get to the bottom of it, killing people that have information as to one side of the belief or the other is counter productive. And if you're trying to eliminate information or either side of the dialectic then odds are you're not a truthist.
(3) It doesn't matter what they believe as long as they believe it absolutely. Even if their actions are completely and directly contradictory to their stated beliefs, they still believe something so absolutely that they must kill anyone who disagrees. Even if the crusades were started by complete and total atheists that were just land and power hungry (which they weren't but just for fun let's suppose), the people with the swords doing the slaughtering were doing it for Jesus, even if they completely missed the point of what Jesus taught. What they believe or why is irrelevant, only that they believe it absolutely.
