By whatever logic of yours you are right and the whole world
is wrong, of course. But we're talking facts here:

Yes, many crimes have been committed by non-Muslims.
Yes, non-Muslims continue to commit crimes even now.

The Nazis and communists carried out impressive genocides.

They were not Muslims.

And although they were indeed Christians (including most of
the atheist commies), their genocides were neither encouraged
nor sanctioned by either The Gospels or the Pope.

ALL The genocides by Muslims were encouraged and sanctioned
by the Koran AND by Islamic religious leaders.

There's a distinction here which, granted, as a defender of
Islam (or of anything anti-Christian, probably) you might
never acknowledge. But others will.
