Why are Christians so ignorant of their religions history and it's crimes

[washed]

Just about every time I hear a Christian talking trash about Islam about being violence I enjoy bringing up the past of Christianity. Seems as quite a bit of Christians do this, tend to ignore the bad.

Hi godzilla_22,

As a Christian I acknowledge that a lot of evil has been committed in the name of Christ, both by Catholics and Protestants.  I would argue that the major difference would be, the Quran teaches Muslims to wage jihad, whereas Jesus taught us to pray and sacrifice for our enemies.  So, while many flawed human beings have committed evil in opposition to the teachings of Jesus Christ, other flawed human beings have committed atrocities in agreement with Muhammads teachings.

I would also note for much of the bad history of Christianity, a lot of it was the Catholic church and it was bible believing Christian who were the most persecuted of anyone.
