Islam of course. They are resposible for the crusades. And their
holy book demands killing of infidels and they are the ones that
are resposible for the religious killings today. They wish to drive
the Jews in Israel into the sea and kill them all.

Islam was responsible for the Crusades? It seems to me that the Christian countries invaded the Muslim ones and not the other way around.

Not to be defending Christiandom but the Muslims came out of the starting gate attacking the nearest neighbors, they weren't anti-christian, they just mowed down anyone who opposed them, Jains, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, anyone who fought them.

Originally posted by sonhouse Which religion is worse for killing, Christianity or Islam
Fundamentalists of any religion are the worst. They are responsible for terrorism. Religion has nothing to do with it. They all kill in their respective god.
Among the fundamentalists the terrorists are recruited. It's the fundamentalists we have to fear.

Didn't you read the wikipedia article on the crusades? It was like
when Saddam Hussein had his army invade Kuwait and we
invaded them to repel them out.

I know what the Crusades were. I don't need to read the Wikipedia article.
