Any violence by Christians 1000 years ago was only a response to the Islamic invasion of the Middle East, North Africa, and Europe. Defense is essential to protect family and friends, and violent some times.

Well, inquisitions also targeted Protestants. Who returned the favor.

Correct. There was great wrong committed by the crusaders against Protestants and Jews. Overall, however, the crusades were a defensive manuver.
