Islam began righteous and ended in wickedness. But we are to commemorate the righteous Meccan period but ignore the wicked Medinan period?

You have not disproven my statements, you only ignored the historic events and disagreed with the Islamic evidences that I provided. You are illustrating opinionated disagreement, not disproving my replies.
The OP compared Islam to Christianity to illustrate similarity of doctrinal violence. Therefore, this thread is open to comparison beyond Islam.
