Too broad of a brush stroke there, friend.

Like, for instance, saying the Kairites and the Rabbinicals are all the same... Jews... right?

Not all Xtians persecuted, and not all Xtians hold to 'Replacement Theology'.

"Like, for instance, saying the Kairites and the Rabbinicals are all the same... Jews... right?"

I don't know of any wars between Rabbinical and Karaite Jews, such as the wars between Protestants and Catholics. Karaites follow only the Tanach, while Rabbinical Jews also follow the oral traditions.

"Not all Xtians persecuted, and not all Xtians hold to 'Replacement Theology'."

I think that all Christians follow some sort of replacement theology, though not all to it's logical extreme, agreed.

For example, Christians universally believe that the promised Mosiach has already arrived. They celebrate the Sabbath on Sunday. They don't follow the dietary laws. This is all because of writings in the gospel such as (the ones that come to mind immediately) Paul and Luke and also the book Corinthians which purport to supercede the Mosaic law. Even the words used, "New Testament" vs "Old Testament" are easily interpreted as implying obsolescence.
