Regarding second picture, there are few erors

Crusades did stopped Turkic advance, if not muslim advance in general, Turks were near Nicea pre crusades and thanks to first crusades ERE managed to regain a lot of Anatolia, although they lost it later on

Secondly Pope while conducting first crusades specifically told Christian warriors in Iberia to not participate and to stay and fight in Iberia. I shed blood of Saxon Man was due to Saxons being a much better target than the powerfull caliphate to the south, never mind the constant raiding saxons and northron vikings do.

Plus Charlemagne was pretty cool with the Caliph, he even gifted Mr Christopher Lee a White Elephant. But I would say the focus on saxons was probably more due to their raids and them being weaker than the sand niggeristan to south.
