http://www.falwell.com/historical_data.html HISTORICAL DATA ABOUT MUHAMMAD
It was standard practice, and made legal by Muhammad, to take as a “wife” in addition to captives, the wives of men killed in battle (or executed). On one occasion when Muhammad launched an attack on a Jewish tribe he personally witnessed their beheading and then took some of their widows to bed. Semitic scholar and historian A.B. Davidson (a professor at New College, Edinburgh) recorded one such instance:
“On one day he caused 800 Jews to be beheaded in cold blood, himself standing by and watching the butchery; and in the evening, to efface the unpleasant impression from his mind, and give a more happy turn to his ideas, he took home the wife of one of the murdered chiefs, and added her to his harem.”
No Colleen. Rome was the one killing people for being Christians. Killing them for having Bibles. Killing them for salvation by faith in Christ, just as Jesus commanded them, to have faith in Him.
Jesus own body never killed it's own members.
