However, I would say the Christian crusaders were probably guilty of similar.
Please note that the "Christian," crusaders first sacked and slaughtered Christian Constantinople before ever stepping foot inside the Holy Land, which set the stage for the Moslems to shortly conquer the citadel of Eastern Christianity.
But that's another story. It's a deep and tangled tale of political intrigue, and takes much effort to get to the crux of it all.

Agreed. My point is, no one has a monopoly on “virtue” - and some people lazily slap labels on billions because of their religion.
The beauty of Christ’s gospel was: individual freedom, individual responsibility (among many other things). Your “group” does not define you. You do.
