The Christians believed that Jerusalem was controlled by infidels because, at that time, Asia Minor was controlled by the Muslims which are <em>the ones who follow or practice </em><em>Islam</em> (a monotheistic Abrahamic religion.) thus, in the Christians eyes they were unbelievers and infidels because they didn't believe in Christianity. Infidel is a term used in certain religions for those accused of unbelief when comes to their own religion.
The Christians believe that Jerusalem was controlled by infidels is because the <span>muslims didn't believe in Christianity so they were infidels. I hope the answer will help you. Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. Feel free to ask more question</span>
