What category am I putting all Christians into? Nowhere have I ever said they are all genocidal, only that following Jesus rather than Muhammad has never been an exemption from committing the "war, aggression, repression, and land grabbing" that Skybird associated with Islam. My own Europeab Christian ancestors are a good enough example of this, so I used them.

You fail to separate church and religion, doctrine and theology, mystics and ritual practice, phisosophy and politics. Just like you can't do the separation in Christianity, you can't do it in Islam, and while you demonize all of Christianity, you sanctify all of Islam.

I neither demonize Christianity nor sanctify Islam. You are right that I don't make many distinctions because historically they have been intertwined.

If I asked you to give me the name of just one Christian Priest, or Bishop, who demanded natives from the American continent to be treated equally, to be considered equal under the law, and respected as the rightfull owners of the land, would you be able to do it?
No? It's irrelevant? History is on your side? Selective history?

Selective how? Because I focused on North America and Europe, where Christianity has always reigned supreme?
