LOL. You're bringing up that again? Really? I've already replied to this a while back when you posted it in the GDF. Is that one event all you have to support your ridiculous claims? I already said before that that looked like revenge killings for the death of their leader. It wasn't "in the name of Christ". Way to twist things. You remind me of Carver in the CBvF.....and yeah, 200 years ago (pretty sure it was 300 or more) people were a lot more superstitious and crazy than they are today. Though Satan is most certainly real, no doubt about that. Can you post something recent that isn't that one event above (which isn't even what you make it out to be) you keep relying on to so-called "prove" your claim?
I'm looking for things that happened [b]recently
that are widespread on the same scale that ISIS' terrorists are doing. Not revenge killing or killings either. But, people claiming they're doing it for Christ, please. [/B]
The massacre of Muslim elderly, women and children was done by Christian zealots who "wore crosses and called themselves Christians" that day, people that had absolutely nothing to do with the assassination. But, if you want something that's not considered a reprisal, you can have a look at this earlier massacre of Muslim civilians done by Christians, Christians that would be operating under the belief that what they were doing was justified by their beliefs and that God approved of their actions.

If you want something specifically said to be done in the name of Christ, there's Anders Breivik, who carried out his slaughter in the belief he was helping defend a Christian Europe from an onslaught from Muslims and Communists.

More Christian terrorists from unstable regions

There's also a few Christian domestic terrorist groups in the U.S., such as these guys

Not as awful as ISIS, but the U.S. is a much more stable and secure region then Africa and the Middle East, where the majority of these atrocities take place.
That is basically my point though. Christianity, for the most part, is focused in secular, rational-minded nations, countries that are secure and well-governed. The Middle East, the heart of Islam, hasn't been stable for hundreds of years. Of course you're going to see more massacres and atrocities in the region, and since the world today is so connected, that internal strife bleeds into other nations.
If North America was as war-torn as the Middle East, you'd be seeing the same kind of stuff on a daily basis, including religious terrorism.
