Yes, religious conquests.The Crusades were wars of conquest under the guise of and justified by religion.
In fact, many minor Frankish royals eagerly jumped at The Crusades as a way of expanding their territories and wealth.
The Crusades didn't fundamentally expand either Islam or xtianity... but, they did change the map of The Middle East by creating new Frankish kingdoms.
