  No shame there, and no shame in forcible conversion of pagans, and no shame in pillaging.......
  
  Of course it is shameful.  Abhorrent acts, theft,  and imperialism done in the name of religion is always shameful.  
  
  The teachings of Christ don't include massacres, Antares.  Love thine enemy.  Turn the other cheek.  Christianity is about forgiveness and redemption.
