Some Christians still do if they can.Murdering gays and abortion doctors for example. I won't even start on the Crusades,the Inquisition,The Reformation or Counter Reformation,plus centuries of rabbid hatred towards and Pogroms of the Jews. The Holocaust simply would not have been possible without a thousand year tradition of Christian antisemitism.
As a matter of historical record,Islam has generally been less violent more tolerant,and more honourable in war than Christianity.
Interesting, I never thought of Christianity like that before ...
