The colonialisation of the New World (including South and North America, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa); the Crusades, witch hunts, misc!. wars of religion in Europe; Thirty Years War; the 19th Century exodus of the Caucasians (Muslims) by Russia; the Wars of the Three Kingdoms in current day UK (which was based on religious differences); the Inquisitions!.!.!.etc!.

For the last 100 years: general colonialism (in Third world countries); the IRA and other terrorism (see: http://en!.wikipedia!.org/wiki/Christian_t!.!.!. ); the Bosnian Genocide; the KKK; Helmet Massacre against native Indians in Brazil, 1988; Sabra and Shatila massacre in 1982 by Lebanese Christians; Guatemalan Civil War 1960 to 1996 where 83% of the victims where Maya; the Stolen Generations in Australia; the Herero and Namaqua Genocide in Namibia (by German Christian settlers) and many more!.

Do you need more information!? Do a search in the internet!.

edit:
Wow, some people actually think that Christian terrorism is justified as long as it was against Muslims!

Interesting, how about the Christian terrorism that was against other people, many of the examples above were actually against peoples other than Muslims, including "other" christians! Where the native Australians Muslim!? how about the Mayas!? The Herero!? The Jews!? The African Americans!? The Catholics!? The Hugenot!? The Protestant!? The Eastern Orthodox!? The Oriental Orthodox!? The Puritans!? Shall I continue!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

You can put any excuse forward, but the underlying factor remains that Obama is a Muslim!. He grew up in Indonesia a strong icon for Islamic faith and was officially registered as a Muslim during his schooling years!. His father has the classic and common middle-name 'Hussein' indicating a connection to Muslim past!. Obama has claimed that he is now a Christian, but this is uncertain by the population!.

Islam has brought huge religious tension, destruction and evil to modern society!. You really have to evaluate the effects of "The Crusades" or "Inquisition" against the darkness Islam has bestowed upon everyone!. Radicals want to invoke fear by killing, seizing the holy city of Jerusalem, and no doubt firing Nuclear weapons on Christian nations - if they can master its creation!. The terror attacks on the world trade centre in 2001 saw 3000 people deceased in a matter of a few hours!.!.!.not to mention the countless assassinations, civil revolts and tyranny they have caused overseas and in their own country!. France is an excellent example!. Ever since they allowed Muslim immigrants in, there's been a huge problem with riots and unrest in Paris!. 5% of that town is Islamic, yet they have caused extensive damage and innumerable deaths!.

Barack being elected will be a mistake for the United States, but one that they need to live with after their ignorance!. Leave your Step-Dad alone, he's entitled to his own opinion just like yourself - we don't need to be convinced in this world!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hmm

To think of one, how about poisoning Mankind with the bible, a book that calls for hate and death, with many contradictions: One quote: Mark 3:29
Kill all those who blasphem in the name of christ!. (Im an atheist) On the other hand, the Muslim holy book, the Koran, is interpreted different ways by different people!. Terrorists and Islamic fundamentalists think the Koran calls for death of all people who dont belive in Allah (Their version of God)!. People think that all muslims are terrorists because they have a mindset that the Koran is interpreted to be about death, but fundamentalists are killing in the name of thewir religion which is really fanaticism!.

The Crusades!. In the frist crusade, the reports said, that the Christian Crusaders killed so much Muslims that the level of blood in Jerusalem was knee-height!. The only ones that survived were the Muslim commandant of Jerusalem and his bodyguards, so the killings were done on the wrong people!.
To compound this, when the Muslims won back Jerusalem, tehy didn't kill the Christians, but ransomed them and put some into slavery!.
The Spanish Inquisition!.!.!.!.
European Wars, and poision gas!.
The people complaining about Muslims having nuclear bombs, guess what, the US has nuclear bombs!. WHy is there two sets of rules for different countries!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

I cant think of a single religion that doesn't have blood on it's hands!.There likely has been more people killed in the name of religion than most other causes!.

However,pointing a finger at one group or another and saying " They did it too" accomplishes nothing!.

So, asking for people to help you make your step dad "feel stupid" for a choice in an election, means you apparently cant argue your point well enough!. The information is available on this same medium so look it up!. Just remember, all religions have persecuted others at one time or another!. Many still do!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

well they persecuted their own people for once!. specially the roman catholic church!. not so much for the crusades only a few thousands deaths in a few centuries!. you can say christians implemented torture to the finest level!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

dont you think thats a little ignorant!?!.!.!.!.instead of bashing Christians!.!.!.!. find evidence that proves HIM wrong!.!.!.!. you cant stop fire with fire!.!.!.

edit: then you know what you say!? screw you and forget about it!.!.!.!.let bigons be bigons!.!.but doing THIS is not the right thing to do!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
