Your entire post seem to be saying "see, Islam isn't the only religion responsible for terrorism. Other religions suck, too".
Yeah, you won't get any disagreement from anyone here.
I NEVER said you were excusing terrorism.
"You too" is an excuse; like a killer saying "I kill people of that land because one person from it killed too".
Quote:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tu_quoque#Example
In the trial of Nazi criminal Klaus Barbie, the controversial lawyer Jacques Vergès tried to present what was defined as a Tu Quoque Defence—i.e., that during the Algerian War, French officers such as General Jacques Massu had committed war crimes similar to those with which Barbie was being charged, and therefore the French state had no moral right to try Barbie. This defense was rejected by the court, which convicted Barbie.[5]
I posted this example to you in my previous comment: The lawyer Verges tried to excuse Barbie of his crimes, by pointing to the crimes of French generals. In other words: "don't throw stones on people houses when yours is made of glass".
Terrorists do this: they kill you, and justify their crimes using crimes done by the other side.
I said, that doing a crime, will generate believers in the above. Thus; a reaction equal to it in magnitude, but in reverse.

But no atheist or Christian on the boards (as far as my spies are able to suss out) has ever been party to these atrocities you're so very, very fond of digging up. Collectively, I'm sure we wish these had never happened.
But you're beginning to sound like a one-note Johnny. Getting tiresome.

The board has visitors who never comment their opinions; topics like this are a good reminder to them.
The majority of people doesn't share your opinion; as it seems.
I'm not writing for the entertainment of people.

But the Crusaders you referenced didn't eat Muslims because they were Muslims. They ate Muslims because they (the Crusaders) were starving. This isn't an example of religious persecution.
Boru
They didn't view Muslims as humans; that had religious bases, the Pope's speech also at that time indicates that.
If they were hungry enough, they would have eaten the Pope. The British government systematically murdered one million of my Catholic forebears in four short years, but you don't hear me whinging about it.
