The media in America is lying to us. What is going on in Turkey?

Thanks for posting the link.  He is certainly an excellent speaker.  I watched all 22 sessions.  His humor makes it interesting as well.

I'm glad you liked it

Well, apparently I who has lived with them for several years' time and having them as neighbors am not familiar with their religion at all, you are right, 50 percent of my neighbors are bloody murderers who dream about killing me, by the way, do you want to count how many people have been killled, publicly executed and tortured and baptised by force by Christians in the name of Jesus Christ?!
 Do you want to count how many wars have been started by Christians in the name of Christianity?

I'll take the bait. 
Let's hear it.
You want to start with what. The Crusades? Most people who defend Islam start there.
Forget the Islamic Crusades.
Meanwhile, the center of Christian Orthodoxy has been under Muslim occupation for what...560 years.
The Turks even celebrate it yearly.

Where do you want to start? At the beginning or where it is convenient for you.

Btw, here, where I live we have a lot of Muslims with Russian names and Islamic surnames, they look like Tatars but go to Christian churches, most of them are descendants of the Tatars who have been tortured and baptised by Ivan the Terrible in 1552, there are caves under the city where you can see a lot of hooks where the Christian soldiers hang the Muslims and were beating them and torturing until they wish to become Christians, some of them died/were executed.

Ivan the Terrible was a Christian and obviously loved people, hence the name.

I've seen American Methodists who considered themselves to be Christians, had religious quotes everywhere and didn't follow any rules of Christianity, even commited crimes and kept on going to churches.

So I wouldn't be putting labels so easily.

How long did the Tartars of Kazan raid Muscovy for loot and slaves for the markets of Persia and Turkey? And the Golden Horde before them?

Yeah, you gotta watch those Methodists. 
Were they in Boston for the marathon?
