Right, my course on Spanish history only focused on elements where the Christians did bad things. The fact is that both did bad things-both committed genocide, both killed thousands of people and both committed suicide missions (Know the story of the Staniargo? Christian who rode to certain death for his religion and to oppose Islam) but to simply claim that Islam was A) Spread by the sword and B) is a religion which is soley violent and to also claim that Christianity is 'peaceful' is just false. Both relgions have been violent in the past and will be in the future. Its not intrinsic to the religion but intrinsic to the nuts that relgions gets following it.
