Detbuch is right, the notion that the Christians were the aggressors in the Crusades is, to be charitable, debatable.

I also asked about Bosnia because I wasn't sure if it was Christians massacring others in the name of religion. Your facts could use some shoring up.

"No religious bearing when Christians kill Muslims except if your Pope tells them to?"

Doesn't have to be the Pope, but needs to be an accepted leader. If I tell Catholics to bomb abortion clinics, and some nut listens to me, that's not the fault of the Catholic Church, because "the Church" didn't tell anyone to do such a thing.

With the jihadists, it's a very different story.

"I too have said, God I wish people would smarten up"

Yes, because that's exactly the same as saying "Allah, please let the world see how Isreal has hypnotized them."

I'm trying to treat you like an adult, you don't make it easy with insane equivalencies like that.
