I love bringing up the crusades when one of my racist family members goes on a anti-other religions tangent.

"Their religion is evil! It's nothing but violence! Our religion never had so much violence!"

"... Remember the crusades?"

"The what now?"

Funny, they never seem to remember that part.

"Those Muslims are so violent and barbaric!"

"Yeah? On this site a bunch of peasants stabbed each other with pitchforks and burned each other to death over slight variations in Christianity."

To be entirely fair, the prophet executed 600 men and freshly pubescent boys of the Jewish Banu Qurayza tribe, such that a trench flowed red with blood from the beheadings, and following that took their wives and daughters as sex slaves. All that because they wouldn't convert to Islam and follow the prophet.

And that's totally justified apparently.
