I think ALL human cultures are capable of all/any brutality. No one culture has ever cornered the market on evil,

The HUGE difference with Islam, Christianity and Hinduism (the three largest faiths in our world) is that we Christians had/have/will always have Jesus. He elevated the status of women (still commodities in many places) and of all humans, even slaves.
Life is short; Jesus gave us His life for our sins. How blessed we are for His gift.

All the comparisons between faiths and cultures PALE compared to the gift from heaven we received 2000 years ago.

The most effective lies are lies of omission.
For those ignorant of history, those two sentences sound "neutrally reasonable." They're not.

The first we can all agree on. The second is a total lie. No other evil group even comes close in terms of brutality, sustained length of time that brutality has lasted, continues to last, and sheer number of victims killed or enslaved.

“No culture has the ever cornered the market on evil’’. Really? Nazi Germany did a good job and Islam has been hard at it for 14 centuries. Christianity has liberated millions. When did Islam ever fight a war to liberate anyone?
