This guy doesn't want to talk about, or is completely ignorant about, the many atrocities Christians have committed, and they far outweigh Islam's atrocities.
The Crusades lasted nearly 200 years. The estimated death toll (including Crusaders) is 1.7 million. The Islamic State's death toll is about 20,000.
150,000 were put on trial during the Inquisition, and 3,000 were executed. There was plenty of torture:
"As for torture, however, it’s hard to do worse than the Inquisition,
which used torture as a method of extracting confessions. Methods
included starvation, burning victims’ bodies with hot coals, forced
overconsumption of water, hanging by straps, thumbscrews, metal pincers,
and of course, the rack. Believe it or not, all of this was meant to be
for the victim’s own good: better to confess heresy in this life, even
under duress, than to be punished for it in the next."

Fanatical Christians conducted the Salem witch trials, and the vast majority of American slaveholders were Southerners who were mostly fundamentalists and evangelicals who shoved their religion down their slaves' throats. The same-type people are usually responsible for church bombings, group lynchings and abortion-provider murders.
Six modern-day Christian terrorist groups:

Now let's compare Babushka (born again Christian) to OBL (Wahhabi Islam):
Babushka attacked a primarily Muslim country which had no appreciable amount of WMD's and killed 251,000 people per IraqiBodyCount.org.
OBL attacked a primarily Christian country which had thousands of WMD's (making the attack completely justified using Babushka's excuse for attacking Iraq) and killed 2,975.
Adjusted for population, Babushka inflicted about 825 times as many casualties per capita.
I am not saying Christians are worse than Muslims (I am an atheist); the problems from ALL religions come from the fundamentalists and ultra-Orthodox wings, never the religious liberals who have friends from other faiths and even inter-marry. More Northerners (mostly religious liberals) died in the U.S. Civil than Southerners, and the religious liberals are responsible for most of the good things that happen in America because there just aren't that many atheists and we certainly don't obtain much political power.
