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…

What does that have to do with Christianity today ? One ruler makes an order like that and all Christians are bad ?

@Jake966 Sure. Just ignore the fact that that happened in the Middle Ages. But you can't ignore the fact that Christians are doing that same shit today in various African countries.

@LordShadowfire oh you mean the missionaries that went to Africa and were killed while trying to give the salvation message ?

@Jake966 No, dickhead, I mean African Christians who burn accused witches at the stake.
