text: Some Christian and Muslim regimes were more tolerant than others, depending on a host of political and social factors. Trying to say Christianity was intrinsically worse than Islam  is silly. 
  What made Christianity dangerous was when it became a state religion in a time of conquests.
  
  Islam intrinsically is *supposed* to be a state religion, its leader led conquests and advocated them himself. Not so Jesus or his early disciples.
  
  Judaism was nonviolent when Jews were tiny minorities, as soon as they got a chance, they also made their religion the state religion and entered into wars of conquest.
