Lol, holy stuff. That was entirely hypothetical, but check this stuff out:

George Bush actually went on record as saying, "God told me to end the tyranny in Iraq."

Boom, 'Christian' terrorism, by your own definition.

Difference being that wasn't the countries reason for going to war. Unlike the Timurids who waged religious wars against the Hindu's and persecuted and murdered religious minorities within their own border.

i'm not saying you should reach that conclusion, but if you're using the same weak technicalities you might with a muslim death count as a christian death count, you'd have to.

This isn't unique to Muslims though. Christians have done the same thing countless times throughout history.

Remember that what I'm saying here isn't that Christians are religiously-violent, it's that religion isn't actually the key cause of these conflicts. There's historical context that's always missing.

Weak technicalities such as "they waged wars in the name of their religion" and "they killed and persecuted religious minorities within their own borders"

Are you being paid to be handicapped?
