Really? You didn't know that common folk of the middle ages didn't discriminate all that much by age or sex when it came to killing? They killed their own children for things they considered blasphemous, nevermind the children of those they considered to be Heathens. I'd wager that Jesus saying that children should be treated as one would treat him didn't get played up that much in church sermons.
All of the major religions start out really good in early days(which is why they gain ground in the first place). Then they become really zealous, take everything as literal, and think they're better than everybody else. Then they see reason and start to temper their beliefs/expectations a bit. Relatively speaking, Islam is still somewhat young compared to Christianity. It's still going through it's "teenager" phase when it's got a bunch of hormone induced rage going on inside and wants to force everyone else to agree with it lol.
