Yes Robin, it was the Buddhists and Daoists who enslaved the Africans, slaughtered the native Americans, discriminated against the blacks, initiated the inquisitions, crusades, burned witches at the stake, and conquered most of the known world through force (those pesky Arabs, Turks, Persians, Afghans, Mongols, British, Spanish, French, and Portuguese).You must understand, which apparently you dont, these were not true Christians they were extremist sects or small groups of cultic origin. As for the discrimination of the blacks, this was not a religious group, as you like to define it, this was secular groups and yes the Christians stood by and did nothing for the most part, but it was Christians, eventually, who stopped slavery and are still working to stop discrimination. Inquisitions and Crusades were the Catholics, Burned witches, all of the 21, were the Puritans, a small cultic type sect. Conquring most of the world was the Britains, no particular faith group.Or not.But I digress. Name one religious group that historically have been more violent than Christians or Muslims.I will give you the Muslims, no arguement there, but you must realize that the Catholics are their own faith group that claim to be Christian but follow their own doctrines and their pope rather than the Bible.Even today, the majority of wars involve Muslims and the two major wars were started by George Bush, a fundamentalist Christian who likened his war on terror as a "crusade" and told the nation that God himself told him to wage war.
Bush did not start either war but He did oblige those who did start it, the Muslim extremists led by Osama Bin Laden. Keep on following the media bias and you will never know the truth.
