The same problem exists today. Sharia law, which is Islam in control of the state condemns to death any and all who leave Islam for another religion. Our secularist leaders today ignore this. Until Islam accepts as a whole the right of all people to decide for themselves what they believe, which is freedom of thought, there will be no world peace. Even among themselves, the Muslims of today still kill one another over who is right, the Shiites or the Sunnis. At least the western world has gotten beyond that sort of thing.

If Islam continues to spread and impose Sharia law goodbye to all freedoms, especially the basic right to think and believe for oneself. Chew on that before you condemn the past for the excesses done on both sides of the Islamic versus Christian conflict, something that is almost 1400 years old and still continues, thanks to the resurgence of Islamic fundamentalism in the last 30 years.

Most of the ones I have wanted to mention already have been.

The highest one on my list would be John Paul II (1978-2005) – his ignorance about AIDS and condom use has condemned how many millions of people to death because of his unwillingness to give people information to stop the spread of this disease? I hope he burns for as many years as people that could have been saved if he had just taken some proactive initiate.
