You're doing the same thing that religitards do. You are saying that the REASON for the war/pogrom was always to spread their religion. If I break into your house and steal your tv it is because I am a robber.... not that I want to force you to convert to my particular superstition.
Name me one aspect of human life that is not run by humans?
I am saying that anyone can point out more or less violent periods in human history. Spreading or not spreading does not change that humans are tribal.
It is like arguing the difference between Superman and Darth Vader.
Once you buy a club mentality, most get sold that at birth. In human history you can certainly find pockets of "live and let live' more than others. But, no religion is immune to our species overwhelming bent to defending that which is local.
