Sacrifice in Robin Hood

I was watching the movie Robin Hood when I came across a dialogue that is relevant to the kinds of sacrifice that we have discussed in class. During a latent battle in France, Robin Longbow(Robin Hood) is asked by King Richard, " Do you think God will be pleased with my sacrifice"? -This is in reference to his Crusade to take back the Holy Land. I take this to be asking whether or not God will be pleased with his "self-sacrifice" to do His will. Robin Hood had an interesting response to the question. First, he says explicitly that God will not be pleased and to drive the point home he recalls a moment when 2500 Muslims were rounded up to be slaughtered. A Muslim women looked up to him and he took that look to be one of pity, for the "God-less" things that were about to be done. This kind of sacrifice is horrifying because of the violence it provoked. In the case of the Crusades, thousands of people were killed by Crusaders who thought their God would be pleased with their sacrifice. This is a perfect example of Abraham's Curse. The curse being the willingness to kill or be killed for God. What makes this sacrifice justifiable, according to the Crusaders, is that sacrifice is looked at as a pious act, like in the case of Abraham. They would, most likely, not feel a sense of guilt for the blood that was being shed. The suffering of humans is not as important as their communion with God.
