      >Iconoclasm
      It's in the Old Testament
      >Holy War/Crusades
      Also in the Old Testament. The crusaders saw their incursions into the levant as repeats of the conquest of Canaan.

      >Holy War/Crusades
      The concept of a holy war mandated by God is pulled directly from the Old Testament, what are you smoking?

      even though Islam appears more primitive, Christianity predates Islam by 200 to 600 years.
