Jerusalem was the Holy city for Christians, which is why they wanted control over it again. Therefore, the Byzantine empire asked the Pope to call upon his people into war. Painting people as “Heathens” also fueling their desire to conquer Jerusalem, showing how unholy people don’t deserve to have control over the Holy Site.
