Yes, there have been several times in the Bible where the Jews were either commanded or used the power invested to them by God to kill or drive out other races of human civilization. this never ONCE happened in the New Testament, not one single time. why? because the bridge had been crossed, Jews and Gentiles were now equal. thou the Jews are still God's chosen people, they are no more important to God than anyone else in this world. the crusades, those were not Chrsitians, those were idiots, those were complete and absolute hyporytes. they were not commanded by God to kill anyone, they were commanded by the Church, full of selfish and greedy officials. the church isn't as powerful as it was back then today, so they are no longer able to pull of such a horrific stunt. nothing about the Crusades is Christian, neither is any other person SINCE THE NEW TESTAMENT who has killed or done wrong 'in the name of God'.
How can you tell me that those who flew the planes into the twin towers or chopped off the heads of people, or are STILL TO THIS VERY DAY killing hundreds of Christians (try some research on the sudanese [spl?] Christians); how can you tell those people are not true muslims? the muslims declared a Ji-had (spl?) which is a holy war, which means anything goes, including flyin planes into buildings and cutting off ppl's heads. that's part of their religion, and you can look it up in the Quran yourself. you won't find a single Christian who is true to the word of the Bible that would do as the muslims who are true to the word of Quran are doing right now, killing inocent Christians, and attacking nations (including their own) for power and control. i'm not single handedly judging the muslims, as i said, not all of them are like this, but there are a group of them, several groups, who are and who would kill in a hearbeat and be justified by their religious text to do so, unlike the Christians. if a Christian kills in cold blood then they are guilty of murder, just like any other. they then have put down the name of Christ and the name of fellow Chrsitians who ARE living by the word.
