Crusade and jihad shared core doctrinal assumptions about religious tolerance and authority

Evidence

The doctrines of Crusade and jihad here approximate, first, in the willingness to tolerate people of an alien religion only as subjects (though their status within Christendom in theory and practice was less safe than in Islam); in the direction of holy war against all kinds of rebels and dissenters; and in the insistence on duly constituted authority for waging war. — Norman Daniel, Islam and the West, 1823
