"We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity." - Anne Coulter, Christian peace activist
Conquer, convert or kill.
"three-in-one/one-in-three The mystery of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit tritheism made official. The subsequent almost-deification of the Virgin Mary made quatrotheism … Finally, loads of saints raised to quarter deification turned Christianity into plain old-fashioned polytheism. At the time of the Crusades, was polytheistic religion, most of which have never existed, with the possible exception of Hinduism.
This untenable contradiction between the assertion of monotheism and the reality of polytheism was dealt with by accusing other religions of Christian guilt.
The Church - Catholic and later Protestant - turned aggressively on the two most clearly monotheistic religions in view - Judaism and Islam - and persecuted as infidels or pagans.
The external history of Christianity consists largely of accusations that other religions are based on the worship of more than one god and therefore not the true God.
These "pagans" (Islam and Judaism), must be converted, conquered, and / or killed for their own good, to take advantage of the uniqueness of the Holy Trinity, plus appendages. "- which is certainly Companion (John Ralston Saul)

- Why is that throughout history, Christians are no longer any Jews or Muslims Targeted in hate?
- Monotheism is the greatest threat to Christianity?
- Why Jews and Muslim scholars say that the Trinity is pure polytheism?
- Judaism and Islam considers the concept of the Trinity to be polytheism?
- What about Catholics, Muslims reference open talks at the Vatican?
In fact, Jews and Muslims are closer than you'd think from reading biased media reports. There are extremists in all religions, and are what make the headlines.

A lot of people today seem to have the idea that Jews and Muslims have some kind of traditional enmity that goes back centuries, but this is incorrect. The current mutual bad feeling between them is due to the Israeli-Palestinian and dates from the 1940s. Before we get along. In fact, Muslims and Ottoman Turks treated the Jews much better than European Christians did. In the Koran the Prophet of Islam does not conflict with Jews, but Jews was in some places, and he is not against Jews in general.
As for the type of Christianity that you describe, I agree, it does exist (perhaps still does) and it was a bad thing. But again, look at the history of those Christians who were not on empire building. They got along with everyone. The problem arises when the church and state will unite and religion is corrupted by politics. Politicians use religion for their own purposes and do things to make him popular, and corrupt. The religious state then uses his power to force religion on people and damaged the wars of religion for political reasons.
Take a lesson from this: God and political power do not mix well. God is a king, but not like the kings of the earth, and dictators. God's ways are not man's ways. Political states and empires use of force and fear to the rule, God wants us to obey him, from a sincere heart, not by fear or under threat or duress.
That's funny … quoting Anne Coulter as Christian peace activist. LOL
Do some research on your facts next time.
Peace
Yeaps.
So where do we go from here?
You're great! You hold in wide arcs, so that eventually form a complete circle, and may inevitably to the conclusions with which it began.
Congratulations.
