Americanized,

you also aren't addressing the elephant in your room. How many times did Jehovah himself command the Israelite army to attack and destroy a city in order to establish himself as the only god? it's all over the old testament. What do you think the Christian Crusaders were doing? Why are you so hell-bent on calling out Islam for the exact same things your religion, and your god, have done? Maybe you only read the New Testament, that's the only explanation I can come up with for this.
