Inquisition killed less than ISIS has. They were in the name of Jesus, but not in his path.
Prove it again, Inquisition killed less than ISIS has? Do you really know what Inquisition is? And do not start again with your "in the name of Jesus, not in his path" this means nothing at all. And if you want to mean something with it, you can also say "they were killed in the name of Muhammad, not in his path", again there's no limit to your hypocrisy.
Can we stay in the present?
Sure we can, but as long as you refuse to see the truth of this there is no discussion possible with you PE: Violence and terrorism are growing thanks to misery and wars, and this is not about Islam in particular, lets be honest, if the Christian world was facing the same dire situation like in the Middle East, you would see Christian terrorist organizations as well as it happened in the past.
Your obvious lack of knowledge and ignorance in historical facts and socio-economic factors as well as your obvious total biased judgement against Islam is why you cant be taken as serious here PE. You have no solid arguments, nor any knowledge at all.
And you want to talk about present day Christianity? Ok. Since the beginning of the 20th century, in terms of political violence people of Christian heritage polished off tens of millions of people in the two world wars and colonial repression. This massive carnage did not occur because European Christians are worse than or different from other human beings, but because they were the first to industrialze war and pursue a national model. Sometimes it is argued that they did not act in the name of religion but of nationalism. But, really, how naive. Religion and nationalism are closely intertwined (see the genocide against Jews, it started with religious tensions in Europe between Christians and Jews all along the 18th and 19th century and it ended horribly with WW2). The British monarch is the head of the Church of England, and that still meant something in the first half of the twentieth century, at least. The Swedish or Danish church is a national church. Spain? Was it really unconnected to Catholicism? Did thr Church and Francisco Franco’s feelings toward it play no role in the Civil War? And what’s sauce for the goose: much Muslim violence is driven by forms of modern nationalism, too.
I don’t figure that Muslims killed more than 2 million people or so in political violence in the entire twentieth century, and that mainly in the Iran-Iraq War 1980-1988 and the Soviet and post-Soviet wars in Afghanistan, for which Europeans bear some blame (the secular nationalist Young Turks also committed genocide against the Armenians during an invasion of eastern Anatolia by Russia).
