That's just a pack of lies. Now if you said it about Muslims it would be true. Mohammed started his cult to justify robbing and raping and kidnapping women and children.

I knew you'd depict the defensive war the US fought against Japan as a Christian crusade.

As for Vietnam, I have no idea if the French ever massacred anyone. I do know, though, the Communists have massacred millions there and elsewhere in SE Asia.

Hi Sun Tzu; There's another mistaken attribution going on, some of the Palestinian terrorists were Christian, not Moslem. Here are some Palestinian Christians who worked against Israel in one way or another or otherwise became infamous (and most American probably assume that they were moslem):

George Habash, founder of the PFLP, Secretary General of the Palestinian Front until 2000,

Imil Jarjoui, member of the Palestinian Legislative Council and the PLO executive committee.

Kamal Nasser, expelled from West Bank by Israel in 1967, Nasser became editor of the PLO newspaper, Filastin al-Thawra. In addition, at that time he became a member of PLO Executive Committee from February 1969 to July 1971 serving as an official with the office of National Guidance. Nasser was assassinated in West Beirut by Israel Defense Forces in the 1973 Israeli raid on Lebanon ( Operation Spring of Youth) on the night of 9 April 1973.

Wadie Haddad, leader of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine's armed wing. He was responsible for organizing several civilian airplane hijackings in support of the Palestinian cause in the 1960s and 1970s. According to the book Striking Back, published by Aharon Klein in 2006, Haddad was eliminated by the Mossad, which had sent the chocolate-loving Haddad Belgian chocolates coated with a slow-acting and undetectable poison which caused him to die severals months later. "It took him a few long months to die", Klein said in the book.
