+ Crusades +
Muslim armies had conquered much of northern Africa, Egypt, Palestine, Syria, and Spain, which had been some of the most heavily Christian areas in the world.
Thousands, and possibly millions, of Christians died during this drive to eventually bring the entire world under Islam.
The First Crusade was launched in 1095 by Pope Urban II to check the advance of the Muslims and regain control of the city of Jerusalem and the Holy Land.
I am sure that some atrocities were committed by both sides during this war but by most people's judgment this was a just war.
+ Early Days +
The first crusade started in the year 1095 A.D., about half way back to the birth of Christ. This would be considered the middle days of Christianity, not the early days.
The Romans were killing Christians in the early days of Christianity.
+ With love in Christ.

The early Christian church after a certain point was little more then a reformed Pagan/Roman Gods shell because of who took over and for the love of power. That has nothing to do with God if there is a deep enough pit I'm sure you'll find those early church leaders there.

Catholics did crusades, Christians did not. The Catholic church murdered countless millions of Christians between 1000 AD and 1600 AD.

The early days of Christianity would be the chruch in the book of Acts, and they didn't do those things that your claiming. Infact, they were being persecuted and killed for their faith.

There have always been - and will continue to be - people who claim to follow Christ that don't really follow him.
