The weeks just keep flying by, don't they? It's time for another Week in Review, and this time, we actually have a few interesting things to review. Microsoft is going on the full assault against Apple and Linux on netbooks, Canonical retaliates, the IBM-Sun deal is still the talk of the week, and we did a podcast. This week's My Take isn't a happy one, but it is an important one.

Ah yes, I missed that particular claim - it does seem a bit questionable.
Although I would suspect that he's simply talking in terms of the predominant religions of the countries involved - rather than stating some sort of value judgment against Christianity (or in favour of other religions).
While he doesn't specifically state that, I think it's implied by the following sentence (where he points out that the Rwandan genocide was not religiously-motivated). At "worst," it looks like he's pointing out that Christianity/Christians don't have a better record than most other religions when it comes to participating in wars.

y saying that most wars of the world were christians killing christians. That's quite a...far fetched hypothesis. Not only because you'd need some numbers to back it up...wars, killing were always present, (almost) nevermind the religion.
