I gave you an example.... Sulieman and the muslims who had declared Jiihad (Muslim Holy War) on Christendom (which is what pretty much all of eastern europe was at the time)... They didn't suceed in taking all of Christendom, but they did get a good portion, including the Holy Land. Even though they believed they were batteling the infidels, their own religion condemned what they were doing because they were slaughtering innocent people who didn't believe in the muslim religion. They ended up winning, the crusades never did any lasting damage (though I'm not saying the crusades were perfect and without their own problems, but the immoral action of certain men does not determine the morality of a war, the morals on which the war was is based does, and that was the defense of Christendom). So yeah, the muslims would be unjust agressors and though they won, would be considered wrong.
