its called SELECTIVE LEARNING
they never learn about their own history.
Often they say - Well I'm protestant and they were catholics so it wasnt my religion.
Which is BS because Henry 8th did just as much killing to the english people when he started the anglican church.
same goes for the 30 years war in europe which was between catholics and protestants - more killing there.
Northern ireland - catholics versus protestants.
the killing is still going on.

Christians had a violent history and it is still violent. Who has created hate full laws, which destroys peoples lives? Sending people to jail for minor offenses or crimes that has no victims ( possession of drugs ), not allowing homosexuals the same rights as every one else ( in the OT the christian good says that homosexuals should be put to death along with many other violent and horrible demands and laws ). The Christian religion has, to my opinion, a moral which basically is creating misery and violence for those who dosn`t follow the beaten track. The sexual moral in Christianity is explicit suppressing minorities because the followers of this religion by all means, including fanatic laws, are trying to prevent others to live their lives in the ways they want it. To my opinion this is violence. They should clean their own path first

First of all, the Crusades were a response to muslim aggression. Granted, the Crusaders got out of hand.
But the main difference is that despite these episodes of in christian history, christians today, for the most part, would find such acts reprehensible and disgusting and denounce anyone who perpetrated it.
As opposed to the majority of muslims worldwide who would either actively engage in armed jihad or, at the very least, actively support it, as the results of various polls suggest.
Aside from that, of the 30+ active conflicts in the world today, all but 1 involve Islam as a central issue.

some people purely criticize something. I even have in no way been to a worship provider in my existence, and that i've got been blessed understanding some people of distinctive faiths, and observed that political subject concerns are no longer stated. I even have in no way been element of any team, nor seen something untowards the place something yet Peace and lightweight faith has been preached. there is not any darkish facet that confounds, different than of direction: "For the secret of Iniquity doth already artwork...and then shall the depraved be printed, purely he that now letteth will enable, till he be taken out of ways. and then shall that depraved be printed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall wreck with the brightness of his coming. Even him,whose coming is after the workings of devil with all skill and sign and mendacity wonders," -2 Thessalonians 2:7-9.

Well in case you didn't notice, that was the past. For the most part, Christians became civilized while a lot of Muslims still live like the Crusades are still going on.
I have to give credit to the Christians, they did manage to enter the 21st century while a lot of Islamic states are 10 centuries behind.

1) None of the violence in Christian history can be justified using scripture
2) The Crusades where military responses to Muslim encroachment on Europe in Spain, Portugal, the Balkans etc.
3) Comparing history with current events is dumb, IMHO.

Not only the past .. but also the present.
Tens of millions were killed by Christians in the 20th century alone .. No comparison at all.

I don't believe that the Christians ever tried to blow themselves up, each other up, or their children up on a regular basis. Just my thoughts.
I also have a problem, personally, with their lack of reverence for life.

You are comparing now to, in some of your instances, almost 1000 years ago?
You must be either a muzzie or a troll.
