Christians have always waved off Christians who committed horrible acts as “these people aren’t Christians”. Like the crusaders. They were actually following gods examples from the Bible. There are lots of examples in the bible where people get slaughtered and murders just because they didn’t believe in God.

Good point. And these same defenders are the the ones who'll do a 180 and blame ALL Muslims for the acts of an extremist few--or they'll say "Why don't these Muslims speak out against the extremists??"
Hypocrites.

why are people running extortion rings selling children for sex? Why did Enron happen? Why are their rapists? Why do we have evil thoughts of vengeance some times? Why are peoples heads being sawed off as a religious act? Why do some people kill in Jesus name as some cults do such as in Africa or even America. Do you think Jesus represented that? (I would beg to differ if you did and wonder if you read his words). Fact is why do we have to enact laws in the first place. Because people violate other people for their own lusts and desires. People act out of vengeance and hatred. All men have sined and come short of the Glory of God. All need Jesus.

In fact, when Elijah demonstrated the power of God, he killed hundreds of the false god worshippers, before he ran all the way to Midian (Southern Saudi Arabia).
Some will say it's hypocritical...of course, these are the same people that will call God unfair as they are thrown to the lake of fire. They do not fear God, and would rather assume all gods - all religions are the same and deserve equal treatment. There is Truth and then there are lies.

Don't you think that you should forgive christians completely for all of this? After all, muslims use the same line. Don't two wrongs make a right?

Would you rather we accept them? Probably, because then you would have more reason to hate us right? Well fact of the matter is, no matter what lable you CLAIM, if you do not follow Christ you are NOT a Christian. Christ didnt invoke nor would He have condoned the Crusades so why should we accept those cursaders as Christians simply because they said so?
