Not even close as in there are no teachings in the NT that tell Christians to use the sword in-order to get others to convert to Christianity or be killed.

Islam? that is a different story. Millions of Hindus were killed enslaved and raped by the Muslim invaders of India because the God of the Qur'an says to kill the polytheists.

The only thing in common that the Muslim invasion of India and King Olaf's famous baptism or the sword have in common is that monotheism is evil

I urge you to read al-Tabari's exegesis of Q112:1 where he deals with the Aristotelian problem "If Allah created this creation then who really created Allah" and you might learn a thing or two
