If it does include crusades and jihads then:
1. Being the target of such, especially a crusade, would be very punishing for your reputation as by their very nature they are long, the countries involved are unable to make peace until the crusade is over, and the Catholic factions tend to pile on a crusade regardless of any practicalities.
2. On top of all this, it is a global reputation, so while defending the Holy Land from the crusading infidels, my reputation is also decreasing with my Muslim brothers?
