Not to the millions of Christians who call themselves Catholics, and that is part of my point. Were there no Islam to rally against we would go back to killing each other, as we did in northern Ireland and as we did during the great schisms. Your point seems to be that Christians don't kill anyone over there faith because of Jesus. My point is that Christians have always killed people because of their faith, in spite of Jesus. And on this, regardless of how you think Christians
should behave, history is on my side.

And I am still waiting for your answer to this: you also did not show me where Jesus explicitly commanded and ordered that kind of violance and subjugation that Muhammad explicitly has demanded, and practiced himself. I would also like to know where you see violant Islam in conflict with the example the founder of this religion, Muhammad, has set

This isn't relevant to me. Historically, again to go by history and not theology (since only one of these two things is concrete), it hasn't mattered what Jesus or Muhammad preached as any religion can be used to justify (as it always has been) just about anything.
