Those passages typically aren't read in your average church session, and I can't imagine Muslims (which are otherwise unaffiliated with terror organizations) read many of their outdated and barbaric passages either.

Point me to a verse in the new testament that calls for the genocide of a group.

The only real way the HRE was weakened by any of the crusades was Frederick Barbarossa dying on his way to the Third and Frederick II being excommunicated after the Fifth. The main cause of its demise was the Thirty Years' War.
