Less well known is the sicilian murder rebellion that distracted the crusader navy, cutting off supplies to the crusader states in me. It was either 2nd or 3rd cru.

Richard determined that he could take Jerusalem at great cost of life, but then would have the problem of trying to hold it, which he believed beyond his reach - probably accurately. He negotiated a truce that allowed pilgrims to resume journeys too Jerusalem and other sites, which had always been the main point. Seems reasonable.

Sicily is a rather complicated piece in Crusade history.

I can't tell which revolt I was thinking of, as they don't give the details for the murders and assassinations.

A crusade, in modern terms, would be NATO's destruction of Libya, the top leader in living conditions and new gold central banking backed currency for Africa, lead by the puppet Hussein of America.

It's all very well coordinated. The same media telling the world to fear Americans, are themselves in meetings with the people who create these policies in America and for NATO. They have control of both sides, the thesis and the anti thesis. They have a hierarchy and an organization, plus they have their orders and they obey their orders.
