Again, you're talking about Inquisition-era "conquistadors" who were looking for riches and were going to conquer whomever they encountered, regardless of religion. Forced conversions, in this case, are an afterthought, and a good way to get the blessing, and funding, of the incredibly wealthy church.

Pick any year, from about 700 to 1400 AD. Any year you like, and I'll provide you with specific, religiously-motivated islamic aggression and conquest or attempted conquest.

So any Christian aggression was always motivated by other factors, whereas Islamic aggression was always motivated purely by religious zeal. This is a very simplistic and naive view of history.

Muhammed himself was a military conqueror. He preached it. It's in the doctrine. They even have a word for the forcibly converted. Islam is a campaign of religious conquest that has NEVER ENDED since "the prophet" took up arms, once he had sufficient numbers and no longer had to play nice with his neighbors.

And it's still going on today. Their sheep mass migrate and their soldiers spread fear with terrorism.

Or they round up women by the millions and rip their clits off. Or they slaughter Christians by the thousands. Not in fricking 1492. Yesterday. Today. Tomorrow.

Oh, but some medieval Christians were mean to people and some today won't even bake you a gay wedding cake. Boo hoo.
