Christianity a religion of peace?

King Olaf Tryggvason of Norway to the pagan folk or Orkney 995 AD:

"I order you and all your subjects to be baptised. If you refuse, I'll have you killed on the spot and I swear I will ravage every island with fire and steel."
- The Orkneyinga Saga Ch 12

It doesn’t sound all that different to the videos made by Islamic State ten years ago. Another poisonous Abrahamic religion…

if you think "Pagan folk" in Norway were peaceful before converting to Christianity, you really need to do some research.
Most at the time only converted for financial gain and not because they actually believed in it

It was also a very different time period where violence and death were the norm.

I am not a fan of Christianity and Abrahamic religions but using this as some attempt of a gotcha moment, im sorry was a fail
