As I have posted before, I suspect, and am firly sure of this , that 
the Militant Islamic Terrorists do not really represent Islaam.

But something I KNOW is that the crusaders and for that matter ANYONE 
who kills, murders, justifies slavery,and all else you mention above, 
and in the words of Jesus, even "hates his brother" Is not a 
Christian, and do not represent Christians at all.

It's definitely the people, but maybee the people you mean, are the 
people Who DON'T PRACTICE what they preach.
