FACT - The guy is getting killed by the Iranian government for simply being a Christian. FACT - Iranian apologists don't like to discuss the crimes against innocent people taking place in Iran.

And i guess the only option in the minds of hard core War believers that its time to bring Regime change to Iran like what the one in Iraq?
Oh and FlyersFan dont you know that there are Jews living in Iran freely?

Yet you seem to think the Quran is different than say the Talmud or any other book of faith. All religions for the most part went though the dark ages, did they not. Why Cherry pick one thing from one and ignore the rest of others. Islam is no exception. It is also not the sole example.

And yes, it is their country, so they are "free" to kill as many christians as they choose, in their country. Unfortunately, their religion gives them the "freedom" to kill christians everywhere for any slight that they deem against their religion.
To any westerner, the Crusades was a millenia ago.
To many muslims?
It's still being fought. And we're losing.

are all Christians?
The initial premise is flawed, so as you continue to develop your case, it's based on a faulty foundation, and won't stand.

When do Christians ever call for the killing of Muslims or Jews? If everyone followed the Christian Just War Theory of St. Aquinas we'd be living in a world of peace.

Abrahamic religions are the monotheistic faiths emphasizing and tracing their common origin to Abraham[1] or recognizing a spiritual tradition identified with him.[2][3][4] They are one of the three major divisions in comparative religion, along with Indian religions (Dharmic) and East Asian religions (Taoic). As of the early twenty-first century, it was estimated that 54% of the world's population (3.8 billion people) considered themselves adherents of the Abrahamic religions, about 30% of other religions, and 16% of no religion.[5][6]
The three major Abrahamic religions are, in chronological order of founding, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Judaism regards itself as the religion of the descendants of Jacob,[n 1] a grandson of Abraham. It has a strictly unitary view of God, and the central holy book for almost all branches is the Hebrew Bible, as elucidated in the oral law.
Christianity began as a sect of Judaism[n 2] in the Mediterranean Basin[n 3] of the 1st century CE and evolved into a separate religion—the Christian Church—with distinctive beliefs and practices. Jesus is the central figure of Christianity, considered by almost all denominations to be divine, typically as one person of a Triune God.[n 4] The Christian Bible is usually held to be the ultimate authority, alongside Sacred Tradition in some denominations (such as Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy).
Islam arose in Arabia[n 5] in the 7th century CE with a strictly unitary view of God.[n 6] Muslims (adherents of Islam) typically hold the Qur'an to be the ultimate authority, as revealed and elucidated through the teachings and practices[n 7] of a central, but not divine, prophet, Muhammad. Less well-known Abrahamic religions, originally offshoots of Shi'a Islam, include the Bahá'í Faith[n 8] and Druze.[7]
The three main Abrahamic religions have certain similarities. All are monotheistic, and conceive God to be a transcendent Creator-figure and the source of moral law,[8]
