We can look at the start of Christianity and see how millions of Christians were tortured and killed by Christians, but let us just pick a few major events from the history.
|
The Crusades |
The European armies were saying, as they slaughtered Jews and both Christian and Muslim Arabs: “Kill them all, God will know his own.” |
|
Europe's Reformation and Counter Reformation Era |
Two thirds of the Christian population of Europe was slaughtered by Christians |
|
The African slave trade |
Claimed the lives of 10 million |
|
The Colonial Conquests |
Estimates for the number of Native Americans slaughtered by the Europeans in North, Central and South America run as high as 20 million within three generations. |
|
The 20th century's Western Civilization took warfare to new extremes |
A conservative estimate puts the total number of brutal deaths in the 20th century at more than 250 million. Of these, Muslims are responsible for less than 10 million deaths. Christians, or those coming from Christian backgrounds account for more than 200 million of these! The greatest death totals come from World War I and World War II. In World War I, about 20 million killed, at least 90% of which were inflicted by “Christians”. In World War II ( 90 million, at least 50% of which were inflicted by “Christians,” the majority of the rest occurring in the Far East). |
|
In the 20th century alone
|
Western and/or Christian powers have been responsible for at least twenty times more deaths than have Muslim powers in the whole of Islamic history. |
|
In the 20th century, Rawanda, 1994 |
Witness the slaughter of 900,000 Rwandans in 1994 in a population that was over 90 % Christian |
|
1992-1995 Bosnia |
The genocide of over 300,000 Muslims and systematic rape of over 100,000 Muslim women by Christian Serbs |
Based on these and other events, the article draws a conclusion:
“The horrible truth is that, numerically and statistically speaking, Christian Civilization is the bloodiest and most violent of all civilizations in all of history, and is responsible for hundreds of millions of deaths. Even so, Muslims will never associate this violence and blood bath with the teachings of Jesus (peace be on him).”
