Deus Vult (latin for "God wills it") was reportedly the battle cry of crusaders during the First Crusade. Like other aspects of Crusader iconography and symbolism, the term is often employed by hate movements particularly those affiliated with Christian fundamentalism. While it is most often used in the context of Islamophobic posts and memes, it has also been used to target members of the 2SLGBTA+ community and women.
