Massacres in the name of a peaceful faith

There have, in the course of history, been numerous massacres by believers in YHWH, Allah, and Jesus. This is something they don't like to mention when they talk of God's love, or Allah the merciful and compassionate. Fuck 'em, here's a list of their crimes:
==Old Testament==
* Ten massacres of the enemies of God ("enemies of God" includes children laughing at someone's bald patch, ).
* We won't go into all the massacres God had the Israelites commit against the Canaanites and others in Exodus, since the evidence indicates that those never actually happened. Pointing that out makes literalists unhappy, but it gets Christians and Jews off the hook for many large-scale atrocities that their (physical or spiritual) ancestors probably committed.
==Roman Empire==
* State-sanctioned murder of Christians by pagans until Christianity became the official religion.
* State-sanctioned murder of pagans by Christians until there were no more pagans left.
** Of particular note are numerous massacres of pagans by Christian mobs in the fourth and fifth centuries CE.

* Massacre of Verden (782): after the Saxon pagans rebelled against forced Christianization, Charlemagne had 4,500 captive rebel Saxons executed.
