You missed the Crusades.

Not comparing Islam to Christianity, but it wasn’t nearly as peaceful as you present it.

The crusades were a reaction to jihad.

[ You missed the Crusades.

Christian Crusades only happened hundreds of years after Christianity had peacefully established itself, with a good number of the crusades being a response to Islamic expansionism.

Islam started with a “Crusade” to take over most of the known world at the time.

As Christians we can look back at the horrific violent parts of the crusades with disdain because of early centuries of Christianity that were peaceful when Christians were a persecuted people.

Muslims look back at their Initial “Crusade to spread Islam” as “the good old days when they were positioned to take over the entire world and spread the word of Allah by the sword” and they look back at it with reverence because at that time they were winning.

The Crusades were a reaction to the invasion of Europe by muslims, and the violence and butchery associated with that invasion.

The Crusades were a belated reaction to the conquest of the ME and Northern Africa by muslim forces.

I guess you missed this sentence.

“It was only later, hundreds of years after they became christian countries that bad things happened like the Spanish inquisition and witch burning.”
