Are Christians more violent than Muslims Abagond

"Seven times more people have died in Christian wars: 113.8 million compared to the 16.4 million who died in Muslim wars.

Terrorist attacks: According to the FBI, only 6% of the terrorist attacks on U.S. soil between 1980 and 2005 were carried out by Muslim extremists. Even Jewish extremists carried out more (7%).

This is idiocy because it compares wars in which Christians and Muslims fight but that doesn't tell us why they fought, so it's impossible to reach a conclusion about how violent Muslims and Christians are due to their faith.

Secondly, the Western wars were more brutal because the West was leading the Industrial Revolution and so could create the "machinery of death" while the lands of Islam had no domestic firearm factories and were making do with sword and camel.

Assume the author's speaking (citing Euro casualties only) of the fact Nazis were Catholic, and Jews, Muslims, Gypsies, and other ethnic/religious minorities were their victims.

Currently reading John Richards's 2005 works on the Mughal empire....I've come to the conclusion, without a doubt, that Aurangzeb's Mughal reign bore witness to the most powerful empire in human history (across all facets)- they were just *brutal*, unspeakably horrific. The contemporary European colonial powers (British, French, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese) didn't dare challenge him, despite all vying for their respective share in the subcontinent's pie.....and yet, the only polity on the planet which defeated him thoroughly was the tiny Hindu Ahom kingdom of present-day NE India. While his other subjects like the Marathas (Sikhs, Rajputs, etc.) defeated him militarily, they could not defeat his imperial designs.

Long story short, Muslims are wretched human beings who need to be put down mercilessly like a bunch of dogs.
