Right, so why is everyone so bent on singling out the 1.6 billion Muslim population when they refuse to hold themselves and their heritage to the same standard?Deception and corruption is a large part of history in general.

The fact you have to ask illustrates how little you know about your own faith background. But, let's start with basics. Indulgences.
The difference between Christians and Muslims is, for us, killing those who do not believe is murder. For the Muslim, they are told to kill the unbelievers, that it is their duty. That is what makes them an enemy of the state. Deception is a way of life for them.
I was just warming up the bullpen before we talked about the Crusades. How many of them were there, again? My point is, taking an elitist position and judging an entire culture of people based on the acts of .005% of them is stupid.That's your answer to deception and corruption in Christian history books?? In comparison to Islamic evil??
Ok, so in other words you got nothing.

The only deception and corruption in Christian history in regards to the Crusades is how they have been distorted from a defensive war to an offensive one. Doesn't help your claim at all.
And what's really stupid is ignoring how many Muslims have no problem with sharia, violence, killing apostates, etc, even though they don't all do it.
Jews were very fond of the Crusades. So were the residents of Constantinople.
...
Speaking of which, the Jews have even more to fear from Muslims than from Crusaders 800 years ago.
We certainly have what to fear, though how to judge which is worse is beyond me.
Plenty of Christians on this very site who also support violence against minorities and opposing faiths, the difference is I do not judge all Christians by those actions and beliefs.The only deception and corruption in Christian history in regards to the Crusades is how they have been distorted from a defensive war to an offensive one.

All of them... all 1.6 billion of them are being held into Islam against their will?
Comparisons can be dangerously misleading. They often seek to minimize the clear and present danger of today.
I don't give half-a-rat's-hind-end for what happened yesterday.
Let us marshal our resources to tackle today's problems.
Yes. They have no other choice; otherwise, they are murdered.

If that is the case, why are there Christians that advocate for the exact opposite? Point stands, there are outliers and extremists in every tradition. It does not make all practitioners of said traditions guilty by association.But, Christians have as their witness Jesus the Christ, Prince of Peace and His words as contained in the New Testament.
I didn't say it did (pay attention). I said there are Christians who do so.Christianity DOES NOT advocate killing anybody.
