The problem with that comparison is that Islamic terrorists organisations aren't representative as a whole for muslims and muslim society. In the case of the Crusades you had European states wage war on muslim states, and the Catholic Church inciting anti-mulsim sentiments within the general population, so the scale was much larger, and it could be viewed as representative as the main institutions of the time (the monarch and the Church) were supporting the Crusades. Also regular Christians back then were not tolerant of others' beliefs, them beeing very radical, plus influenced by the Church, so I doubt they had much sympathy for the muslims.
