Christianity has an unparalleled historical record of using violence against non-believers and those who simply haven't agreed with their particular version of Christianity: The Crusades, The Spanish Inquisition, The Huguenots, the burning of supposed witches, etc.
Crusades?
Interesting choice.
What was the aim of the first Crusade?
Was it in response to Islamic aggression?

Not to mention current Fundamentalist Christian apologetics for wars, executions, torture, hate crimes, arms sales, and the routine economic "violence" leveled against the poor.
And yet...only one Christian voted to support violence against non-believers. Could it be that Christians have moved past the middle ages, while some other religions have not?

No. Fundamentalist Christians simply have been put on a short leash for now.
Suicide bombing was probably invented by a Christian, and has been used across religions (some just more prone to chickening out of it and go for bombing and shooting instead).
Do you have any evidence to back up the hate you type?

Hate against what? But I shall surely elaborate just as soon as you can prove that suicide bombing (or killing/persecuting people in general, on religious ground) was patented by Islam.
Much less the pathetic excuse for an argument that suicide bombing is a tool to convert people to Islam. Really?

That poster is considered a troll by many on this board.
Who knows if they are a Christian at all?

Yes,yes it was.
It was in....response....to Islamic aggression.
Response....meaning....
You can do it...just...think a little.
Actually, it was part of a centuries-long fight for control of a specific geographic region. When the Crusader forces took control of Jerusalem, it was the first time in over four centuries that the city had been under Christian control.
The ensuing massacre at Jerusalem involved the wanton slaughter of both Muslims and Jews--some of whom were combatants, many of whom were merely seeking refuge from the battles.
