Subject: RE: BS: Arab World Post Revolution?
Philosophical aspects of Christianity?
Christianity was an intolerant and unforgiving creed, witness the destruction of the Cathars, heretics burned at the stake, trampling of native religions, etc., etc. It has improved somewhat in the last three centuries, although trampling of native beliefs and customs seems to have persisted until about 50 years ago.

Our mayor here in Calgary, a Muslim, doesn't preach jihad, nor do millions of other Muslims.
