OK. Here are some :

A Christian nation, rounding up Jews to beat them up, seize their property, and ultimately killing them in the biggest mass-murder ever - because of their religion. (Nazi Germany)

Catholics burning down villages, killing the men, burning down the houses, and forcing (with priests armed with guns and grenades) the women and children to convert. There also have been countless rapes and killings (Yugoslavia, 1941-1944)

Orthodox Christians killing Catholics, Jews and Muslims to the last man, woman and children, wherever they could find them. Once again, raping, looting and killing was commonplace(ex-Yugoslavia, 1992-1994)

My own ex-teacher of Serbo-Croatian, who became Director of the Serbian National News Agency, justifying with other Serbian officials the use of snipers against Bosnian children in the name of defending the Christian religion. (1994-1995)

Or would you prefer the bombing of the church of Montgomery, Alabama (IIRC) by white Christians ?

The Nazis never were Christians. They sometimes used the cover of Christianity and other religions in their propaganda but they developed their own Pagan rituals for weddings, births and other important ceremonies. They also exterminated thousands of priests and millions of Christians in concentration camps.

The Nazis used any religion to further their power. For example, the Nazis raised two Muslim Waffen SS Division during the war. These were the only true "religious" SS Division the Nazis ever created (and it is safe to say that the Germany was not a Muslim nation). Himmler was fascinated by the thought of Muslims to be fearless soldiers willing to kill for their religion. One of these Muslim Waffen SS divisions (The Hanjer Division) was responsible for the murder of over 90 percent of the Yugoslavian Jewish population.

The KKK has never been a part of Christianity and is repudiated by every Catholic sect. Members of the KKK that commit violence are put in jail. Now compare that to the thousands of islamic terrorist groups that meet, recruit and fund raise in the local mosque.

Never heard of those. But, even if there were, what were the numbers? Millions? 10s of thousands? or less?

Saying that Nazi Germany was a Christian nation tells me what little you know about Christianity and Nazi Germany. Hitler was an occultist and the religion of the Nazi party was deification of the state. Read Mein Kamph.

The other's I'll have to look up admittedly, but I've never heard of priests weilding guns and gernades

In any case, events such as these would be in direct contradiction to biblical teachings, not in accordance with them. It is analogous the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea - calling it democratic and a republic doesn't make it so lol.

And did you hear Christians denouncing those actions far and wide? Yes you did. A far cry from the response of Muslims since 1983 which was the beginning of the large scale radical Islamic movement. Some might say it truly started with the 1972 Munich games and the murder of the Israeli athletes, but it became more widespread with the bombing of the Marine barracks in Lebanon. I don't remember hearing much outcry for finding 'those who would do such a heinous thing' from their fellow Muslims.

Why are you neglecting to report the fact that the same Nazi regime jailed and slaughtered Christians because of their belief system? Or that Hitler and others of his leadership were cultists rather than Christian? Or that there were ethnic Jews among his leadership?

You must be a Johnny Cochran lawyer type to reach that far to prove a point, blaming the teachings of Christ for the work of the madman Hitler.

Also he did kill them because of their religion but because of their race. His hatred with the Jews stemmed from his childhood . However it was the nation founded on Christian principles that put an in to him and his rein of hate.

Also when you start studying the teachings of Christianity you need to start in the New Testament which is where the Church and Christians came into existence and it is based on the teachings of Jesus Christ. See what He says you do in order to be one His, and not what the Catholic, Baptist, Methodist, Mormons or any other church or person says.

Then see what Mohamed says and if you can't see the difference it's because you choose not to. The Old Testament was written to nation of Israel and it and the Church created by Jesus Christ are not one and the same.

Don't lay that at Christianity's feet. Read your history. Nazism was steeped in paganism and the cult of the ancient teutonic warrior, all based upon a foundation of racial purity. The Nazis slaughtered a hell of a lot of Christians, too: It wasn't just the Jews who were sent to the camps (although there is no doubt that the Nazis reserved their deepest hatred for the Jews). The Nazis were more athiest than anything else, and if they adhered to any religious beliefs, they were similar in nature to the neo-paganism of today's American Left (Gaia worship, etc.).
