No religion anywhere is to blame for any deaths . I ' m not singling out Islam . That wasn ' t my point . My point is that both Christianity and Islam are partially responsible for many atrocities . As I said , not every war waged by Christians or Muslims were holy wars . To say that religion played no part in those is asinine in my opinion . But this says nothing about those faiths . That people have done both good and bad deeds in every faith says more about the people than it does about their faiths , that they must be judged as individuals and not as groups . What does represents faith ? Actions of majority ? Then the religion nowadays should be considered null , since majorities of Christians and Muslims act no differently from each other as they ' re not really concerned with their own faith . The organizations leading religions ? Then both Muslims and Christians have plenty of terrible in that regard . Holy books ? Because if so , both Bible and Quran have plenty of terrible rules in them as well .
