A) Roman Empire
B) Alexander the Great/Hellenistic Empire
C)Hitler and the Nazi's (WWII/Final Solution)
D)Communism (Russian Revolution/Stalinism)
E) Christianity (Crusades/colonizaton, etc)
F) Islam (jihad, modern terrorism, etc)
G) any other source- please site
Just doing a vaguely related question to one I answered (which person in history died the youngest but left the greatest impact on the world- I answered Alexander the Great but Jesus was also mentioned and I agree that was another equally good/interesting answer) which inspired this question. Just thought this was an interesting point to debate/discuss and if anyone has any thoughts, ideas, and/or sources of info on this topic. And yes, I think those that kill in the name of either of the faiths mentioned above have hi-jacked/misread/misunderstood/misrepresented the tenets of both faiths for political purposes.
