Christianity is the more violent religion. Past Present and Future

I have a history major. Read up on the Christian inquisitions. The Christians tortured non christians (heretics) in order to get them to convert. The Muslims on the other hand gave 3 choices.
1. Convert to Islam
2. Don't convert, but pay a tax
3. Don't convert, don't pay tax, and either leave or die.

Which is worse, at least the Muslims gave the others a choice. Don't believe me? Look it up, do some research... Sure it isn't good to suicide bomb. In the Qu'ran it states that suicide is the worst offense because not only is it murder, but murder to yourslef. And it isn't always the Muslims who are at fault. Timothy McVey anyone? Oklahoma city Bombings? he was a christian. There are radicals everywhere but our religion hasn't been the most violent. Christians have. ... it is all true, look it up.
Iraq did not invade us!
