When xtianity had actual totalitarian control over large populations they were pretty much dicks, too. Perhaps you remember?
Holy horseshitters are the same no matter what stupid hat they wear.
Why don't you think people can change though? That was centuries ago. The people involved are long dead, their children are long dead, their great great grandchildren are long dead, etc. I'm not saying it wasn't a horrible, heinous thing, neither am I saying there was any excuse for it. But I don't see the point in blaming the Christian people of today for how other Christians were during a certain age centuries ago. People have changed, times have changed, and we have evolved and learned from our mistakes. Islam can change too, and if/when they do, we shouldn't be blaming the future generation of people for the horrible things their great great great great ancestors did.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
