No. First of all, the Crusades were defensive. Secondly, there is nothing in Christian scripture or teaching that justifies aggressive violence.

On the other hand, both Mormonism and Islam are full of calls to violence.

Yeah, Mormons are so violent.

I'm curious as to the source of this wealth of information you have on Islam and Mormonism. Are you a former member of either? Do you have a degree in religion or something? Have you read the Koran? Have you read the Book of Mormon?

No.

Others disagree with you.

On the other hand, both Mormonism and Islam are full of calls to violence.

I agree with you on Islam, as I have read parts of the Quran, and of course, see the behavior of the Jihadists. But can you point me to something in the Book of Mormon that calls for violence? Can you point me to enough violent acts called for by the Mormon church to prove some sort of pattern?

I doubt that the answer to either is yes.
