Don't forget Christianity spread through Europe by fire and sword. The European barbarians didn't willingly change religions. In fact I believe Christians to be the first to force their religion on others. Previous to that I don't recall any sort of religious wars.
Christians and Muslims have both gone off the deep end at one time or another. During the Crusades Christians slaughtered Muslims with the blessings of the church. Thousands of non-Christians were tortured and killed during the Inquisitions. Christian Serbs massacred hundreds of thousand of Muslims. In Iraq, the America who was supposedly founded on Christian values killed 100,000 to 150,000 Muslim civilians.Again, the various militia groups in Africa and Serbia are,actually behaving against the teachings of Jesus....right? I don't remember him saying to go forth and kill and rape....so in those cases...they are not Christians....and according to the Ten Commandments...though they are really governed by the laws,of Noah, Carrying the lords name in vain is a mortal sin....
Islam...killing and slaving is part of their doctrine...right? their prophet said it was okay and engaged in it himself....and it is codified in their holy book...right?
Catholic Priests...the same thing..they are acting against the teachings of Jesus, not with his approval....as did the church when it kept them from being punished...and I do believe it is documented that the Prophet of Islam took a 9 year old girl as a wife....right?
No matter how you try, Islam is nothing like Christianity....
Remember...Islam started the conflict with Europe when they conquerd Spain and invaded France..50 years,before the first Crusade,was,called...in reaction to Islamic aggression....
Islam had been conquering for 477 years, before the first Crusade was called. Only question might be what took the Christians so long to fight back ?
