I think its fair to point out that christians aren't exactly innocent. Totally fair, and I would agree. But that doesn't mean we can't condemn people for using Islam as a backbone for their reasons to kill people.

I would actually be curious if there are estimates somewhere on the web as to how many people have been killed in the name of religion, broken down by specific denomination, going back centuries. Does anyone know of such a resource?

Edit - now what I wanted but interesting nonetheless -http://waitbutwhy.com/2013/08/the-death-toll-comparison-breakdown.html
