Merged What the quran really says.

Not to mention the fact the the Holocaust has its roots in the Christian idea that the Jews betrayed Jesus and thus are evil.

Yes, Islam can be and is abused by evil people doing evil things and those persons should be fought. But acting as if it's different from all other religions is hypocrisy.

Cue "Hitler wasn't really a Christian" response.

Preemptively drop fact that he very much pretended to be to those who committed atrocities in his name.

The ability of woo believers to understand why every type of woo other than theirs is indeed woo, whilst being incapable of understanding the identical reasoning demonstrating that the same is true of their own arbitrarily chosen beliefs, never ceases to amaze me.

Here's a comment from Martin Gardner, in Fads & Fallacies in the Name of Science, 1956:

The first edition of this book prompted many curious letters from irate readers. The most violent letters came from Reichians, furious because the book considered orgonomy alongside such (to them) outlandish cults as dianetics. Dianeticians, of course, felt the same about orgonomy. I heard from homeopaths who were insulted to find themselves in company with such frauds as osteopathy and chiropractic, and one chiropractor in Kentucky “pitied” me because I had turned my spine on God’s greatest gift to suffering humanity. Several admirers of Dr. Bates favored me with letters so badly typed that I suspect the writers were in urgent need of strong spectacles. Oddly enough, most of these correspondents objected to one chapter only, thinking all the others excellent.

Hitler was a catholic in good standing, right up until he blew his brains out, the sole reason for him losing his good standing.

Everything else he did was either openly welcomed or not objected to by the church.

To be fair, the Catholic Church, like every other organisation in the history of everything, has "not objected to" a lot of stuff.
