The early Christian Church grew from the blood of Christ and the blood of those believers who were martyred by others rather than renounce their faith.

Seems to me that some folks are still being martyred in the world, and it appears those doing the martyring crash planes into buildings, put anthrax in the mail, and start wars around the world.

It doesn't appear to me that Christians are responsible for any of these horrific deeds.

The Bible is Christianity. The Bible does NOT condone killing and forcefully converting non-believers. The Bible does NOT condone violence unless it is in self-defense or a war of self-defense. The Bible speaks for Christianity.

The Qu'ran speaks for Islam and the Qu'ran does support violence against non-believers. Muhammand did kill 120-year old Jewish men in their sleep and allowed his followers to rape the women of a conquered foe.

Get a brain and, oh, actually read the Bible and the Qu'ran before making idiotic commentary.
