You conveniently ignore the old testament, which has some horrendous violence and genocide.
You also ignore the Crusades, Spanish Inquisition, Witch hunts, Conquistadors, IRA and the current neo conservative Christians who are quite happy to invade countries with "shock and awe"
Comparing ISLAM, and Jesus religion ?By the account of ISLAMIC sources, ....Mohammed was a warlord, a murderer, and a 'collector' of female slaves.
By the account of the bible, Jesus was
not any of those things.
In fact, by the account of the bible, Jesus healed sick people, and brought the dead, back to life.

The 'horrendous' teachings from the Old Testament ?So long as a stranger did not engage in oppressive or criminal behaviour, the stranger living among the ancient Hebrews, enjoyed the full protection of God's law.
The God of Israel commanded it.
.
Exodus 12:49
One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.
Exodus 22:21
Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him...Exodus 23:9
Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger...Leviticus 19:33
And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him.
34 But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself...Leviticus 25:47-49
[these verses clearly speak of [and reveal that it was entirely 'lawful'] for Hebrews [themselves] to become bond servants [slaves], to prosperous strangers living among the Hebrews.]
Deuteronomy 1:16
And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.
Deuteronomy 10:17-19
For the LORD your God... loveth the stranger, ...Love ye therefore the stranger:
for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
Deuteronomy 24:14
Thou shalt not oppress an hired servant that is poor and needy,
whether he be of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that are in thy land within thy gates:
Deuteronomy 24:17
Thou shalt not pervert the judgment of the stranger, nor of the fatherless; nor take a widow's raiment to pledge:
18 But thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee thence: therefore I command thee to do this thing.
Deuteronomy 27:19
Cursed be he that perverteth the judgment of the stranger...
