Nice try but it won't work. Centuries ago there were violent Christians, often Catholic, that did dastardly acts. Today there are relatively violent Christians, few save isolated cults and bizarre individuals, and none sanctioned by the government or mainstream churches. Certainly nothing as extreme or sanctioned as like in most Islamic countries and even done in Europe/UK by the Muslims, often even against their own kin! Like 'honour' killings, forced marriages, incestuous marriages, underage marriages, forcing women to wear garb, not allowing girls in school, not allowing women to drive, not allowing women to vote, throwing acid on women who have 'dishonoured' you, public beheadings, public beatings, slave operations (in Darfur, for use as 'camel jockey', or for harems), jihad, terrorism, etc. All in the name of Islam and often sanctioned, approved by, and paid for by Islamic authorities or Islamic states. Nice try for an Islamic terrorism apologist, of which there are too many, but, as they say, 'close but no cigar'.
