The Christian faith did the same, the whole point of the Crusades was to expand the Christian faith and their power. They were told G-d had supported it so they could kill as many people as they wanted, including innocents, and they would dine in heaven for their service and all sins would be forgotten.
When Jerusalem had surrendered because the Christians promised no harm would come to them they then proceeded to slaughter every single innocent life (including some Christians) because G-d 'allowed it'.
Every faith has a terrible side to it, and if we are to label the religion of Islam as a violent one then by the same token everybody who is Christian should be labelled the same.

It's true, but the Crusades happened in the Middle Ages. Human civilization has evolved so much since then, and Islam is at the root of a comparable problem 800 years after the Crusades ended. We can't keep infantilizing Muslims as if they're not clever enough to break through the fundamental shackles of their religion.
The Western world has a history of mocking Christianity. It was partly through that process that we began to learn to stop taking religion so seriously, and start to value things like humanism instead. The West has earned its right to be the only collective of countries where secularism is increasingly the de facto sentiment among its citizens, and it gained this through the struggles of religious critique, religious mockery, satire, debate, etc.
When you critique, mock, or debate the teachings of Islam, you get what happened at Charlie Hebdo. People claim those attacks do not represent Islam, but how not? The Quran specifically mentions to kill those who go against Allah or Muhammad. Christians are not killing on a mass scale and justifying it using The Old Testament.
ISIS is the Islamic State, as devout and loyal to their religion as it gets. I'd imagine they know the Quran better than anyone in the world. They are the larger problem, but moderate Islam has many of the same social issues as hardcore conservative Christianity, except hardcore conservative Christians don't overwhelmingly believe in death for apostasy in 2016.
