One of the main problems with the Crusaders taking the city of Zara was that Zara was a Christian city, so attacking and plundering it went against the initial goal of the Crusades, which was to reclaim and protect Christian lands from Muslim control. This act caused controversy and division among the Crusaders and ultimately weakened the unity of the Christian forces during the Third Crusade. Additionally, the sacking of Zara further strained the already fragile relationship between the Crusaders and the Byzantine Empire, as the city was under Byzantine control at the time of its capture.
