It's not. Some people who practice it are.

A very loud, large number of those who practice it, unfortunately...but there are also a great majority of those who practice it that are very good people.

You weren't around when Pizarro conquered the Incas.

Yep, if you played age of empires 2, you would know the Spanish almost wiped out the Azteks.

And that you can fit 5 cataphracts into a boat the size of a Buick Regal

But seriously, the Spanish and Aztecs were in The Conquerers expansion pack. You're recklessly misleading people and I'm here to set the record straight.

You must see history with blinders then. Look at all the wars caused by Christianity over religion. The 80 Year's War, the 30 Year's War, the Spanish wars of conquest in Latin / South America. All of those involved tremendous bloodshed and senseless slaughter simply because people were of a different religion.

Stop trying to correct people when you're just as stupid.

Oh, my bad yea it was the expansion. Eagle warriors own in early imperial rush tho, with 4+4 armor no castle or archers can shoot them down, and they actually have a hidden bonus vs knights so they own anything in caslt age

How come when Christian countries invade a territory, they at least preserve its wonders. Its architecture. Every Islam conquering i've read about, includes demolishing and destroying others' cultures. And ok, i agree there are good Muslims, so why didn't the Islam superpowers stand up and do something about the radical Muslims who cause this chaos? Btw: the Aztecs and whatnot were about territory and gold, not about unifying everyone under one religion. The Ottoman conquerings specifically wanted to take over as much territory as possible to convert people to the "righteous" religion. All that were not Muslims were wrong and the soldiers had the right to convert even if it took blood to do it. Why take young boys that are Christian, make them forget their homes and send them years later to destroy it?

turks still won't admit the armenian genocide happened.
they censor anyone in their country that brings up such stuff.
turks are for a palestinian state, but oppress their own kurds who want to live free too. they are so full of sh*t its not funny, esp since they are the most westernized supposedly and some dumbasses wanted them to join the eu.

Yeah, but they cost too much gold so your castle times will be horrible and a counter TRUSH would annihilate you.

They actually took the largest Christian church in Konstantinople, scraped the gold off it, painted its walls and made it a Mosuqe. St. Sofia. And Turkey, wants to be in the European Union, yet the Pope said no Muslim country can enter, and UN told them they would have to give up St Sofia as a Christian church. Turkey denied.
