No, you guys were claiming Islam had some greater affinity for the sword than Christianity.
I was attempting to show that no, that ain't so.
By way of trying to hand-wave that away, you are now engaging in this diversion.
The point is simple: Islam spread by the sword by killing its "opponents". So too did Christianity. More so, if you take the Holocaust into account, which was perpetrated, despite this silliness about Hitler being something other than Christian, mostly by Christians.
Now, is there anything in Christianity that is anti-Jewish? Only if you choose to read the scriptures that way.
Ditto for Islam and its relationship to either Christianity or Judaism or any other religion.
My argument can be framed as such (I think you're familiar with this mode of argumentation): religion doesn't kill people, people kill people.
That's true whether the person in question is doing it in the name of Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism or whatever other ism you can come up with.
