“Santorum said Christians, who believe in Jesus Christ, never governed or conquered anyone, but Mohammed was a warrior and killed people.”

I think the reporter goofed. That statement doesn’t make sense at all, especially when contrasted with the second half of the sentence.

What I think was probably said was that Jesus Christ never governed or killed anyone, but Mohammed was a warrior who killed people.

Yes, I agree with you, the reporter surely got it wrong. The sentence only makes sense to me if it was re-written as:

“Santorum said Christians believe in Jesus Christ, who never governed or conquered anyone, but Mohammed was a warrior and killed people.”

That's the only interpretation that makes any sense. The claim as written (that Christians in general never governed or conquered anyone) is just absurd on the face of it.
