No, that would be the Koran (Quran).
You question whether there is any support for the use of force to turn the heathen to Christ. I would agree with that question and suggest the answer to be in the negative. This is what happens when men try to bend revealed truth to their flawed reason.
However, the Koran explicitly supports that God approves of this. That, to me, is the great fraund. And the greater modern threat.
Cute jest; but, that's not what the historians say. The Koran is one book. The Decretals and Gracian together comprised numerous forged books, documents and extensive histories including manufactured biographical information on the actions of 'early Bishops'. They were used to decieve Europe and the middle east on matters of law and faith for centuries on end before caught. That is a betrayal via fraud that is heretofore unmatched in history.

I didn't question it, no such real support exists rather than by fraud.

A lie is a lie. I did not pretend to differentiate on the impact of a lie being past present, dead or extant. Lying about anything is bad. Lying about history is common. But some have elevated it to an artform and even an industry.
