Don't forget the crusades which probably causes the current turmoil in the middle east now as well.

Any particular religion in itself is not bad, its men using religion as an excuse to do bad things that are bad.

The Crusades were a series of religious expeditionary wars blessed by the Pope and the Catholic Church, with the main goal of restoring Christian access to the holy places in and near Jerusalem. The Crusades were originally launched in response to a call from the leaders of the Byzantine Empire for help to fight the expansion into Anatolia of Muslim Seljuk Turks who had cut off access to Jerusalem.[1] The crusaders comprised military units of Roman Catholics from all over western Europe, and were not under unified command. The main series of Crusades, primarily against Muslims, occurred between 1095 and 1291. Historians have given many of the earlier crusades numbers. After some early successes, the later crusades failed and the crusaders were defeated and forced to return home.
Several hundred thousand soldiers became Crusaders by taking vows;[2] the Pope granted them plenary indulgence.[3] Their emblem was the cross—"crusade" is derived from the French term for taking up the cross. Many were from France and called themselves "Franks," which became the common term used by Muslims.[4]

a "good" religion is like an enclosed rotten egg. if you dont break it, it wont smell.
i don't recall any serious human live lost because of buddhism even though it belong to a pampered prince who got shocked, he should have seen a therapist if there is one back in those day to overcome his trauma instead of running away and hide under the tree.
