"Thou Shalt not Suffer a witch to live" = Tens of thousands of women killed in God's name.
Thousands of Jews put to "The Question" = Thousands of Jews and Christians killed in God's name. (Christians were also killed, accused of being "Secret Jews")
Catholics and Protestants killing each other for not being "Christian" enough. (Weirdly alot of Catholics were killed an tortured by "Catholic" mercenaries accused of being protestants, some while holding the rosary in their hands)
We as Christians have committed our own atrocities in our past, in God's name and have learned, grown and come out the other side.
Do we blame all Christians forever for the transgressions of the past?
Do we forever blame all followers of Islam for the transgressions of the radicals now?

All Christians were Catholics for roughly 15 centuries.
How many religous wars do you wish to revisit in your attempt to soften Islam?
Islam is a nation without borders. Under Islam all institutions including government are subordinate.
Iraq might possibly prove the exception.

(1 Billion Muslims -- IF only 10% are radical, that's still 100 Million who want to kill us.)

The difference is Christianity stopped killing people. Islam was founded on it and will never stop according to their own book. And just fwi, thou shalt not suffer a witch to live is in the The first covenant, not the second "Christian" book.
