Toquemada and his minions come to mind for starters. See
<https://www.cs.drexel.edu/~gbrandal/Illum_html/Torquemada.html>
Then there was the Thirty Years War
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirty_Years'_War>
In our time, we have the "troubles" in Northern Ireland
<http://www.iraatrocities.fsnet.co.uk/>
Then we have the abortion issue, with Chritian violence (with
the recent capture of Eric Rudolph)
<http://atheism.about.com/library/FAQs/christian/blfaq_viol_abortion.htm>.
Seems we have a long history of torture, violence, and murder at the
hands of Christian fanatics (even though these people are not
representative of Christians in general in the 20th century).
If you guys are going to blame all Muslims for the crimes of a
handful of fanatics, you should similarly blame all Christians for
the crimes of their fanatics. Fair is fair. Of course, you can
admit that the problem is really the fanatics, and not disparage
decent people who practice either religion and who don't try to
force their beliefs on others.
