So, the Christian message is if you disagree with them, throw them in jail or kill them?
Nope. The Christian message is to preach to them. However, when the preaching is stopped by political forces then political forces (read kings, dukes, emperors) fought those other political forces.
Did you read about "you would understand that they were not only considered heretics, but also guilty of treason to the state which was ruled by a king. It was not only the king who would hold this to be true, but also their fellow countrymen who were loyal to Church and Crown"?

You are proclaiming bad history. The Popes proclaimed the crusades and funded the crusades. They sold indulgences promising eternal life for those who bought them. To declare otherwise is simply dishonest.
