One sided views notwithstanding...

Crusades? Which one? that of the muslims as they overran the holy places of the holy land or are we to believe that the actions of the european nations was completely unprovoked. Islam is by no means peaceful and yes, Christiandom has much blame on its hands. The difference is that christians have acknowledged the wrongs and outright evils done in the name of Christ and apologized and lo and behold it has pretty much ceased. As any muslim ever even acknowledged , let alone apologized for the terror visited upon the people of India ? Why do you think it is called the "hindu Kush"?

And you honestly believe Hitler was a christian? He was a pagan . Christians were on the list as well as jews.
Islamist violence is a response to the writings of their own holy book that teaches to make war upon those who are not submitted.
I for one am proud to be an infidel!
