I found a nice post written by Dr. Alan Jamieson entitled Christian-Muslim Conflict:Distant Wars and Local Echoes on his blog: Past Now and Then
It focuses on the control of the Mediterranean but has some basic information about the history of Christian-Muslim conflict in the holy land. It really stops with the Capture of Jerusalem by the British in 1917 during the first world war. I found it valuable because it demonstrates the length of the struggle between religions in that region. I feel that a lot of this history is useful when examining the political relationships in today's world
I hope to post something later to complete the history of the conflict by expanding the story into the 21st century.

Intriguing article. It summarizes the conflicts between Europe and Middle East from Middle ages to before First World War. The article mainly focuses on the Crusades and the Reconquista.
