No. I think you are missing a lot. Yes, there is violence in everyone's past across all cultures. But that is NOT what Khilafah teaches. Go back and reread my comment if you didn't understand.

There are parts of the Bible that teach equally violent and intolerant principles. Fortunately, nowadays few Christians (and Jews) choose to emphasize those parts, and generally explain them away as having been superceded by something in the New Testament, or inapplicable to their own lives for some other reason. But it has not always been that way. The Taliban's insistence on destroying the Bamiyan Buddhas, for example, bears a lot of similarity to certain past Protestant groups who went around smashing religious statues and pictures in Catholic churches. And the executions of thousands of "witches" in the name of Christianity were quite comparable to various Muslim leaders fatwas calling for the slaughter of "infidels".
