Sorry Charlie, history condemns them both....as for which has the highest body count, when you both reach into the millions, what matters a few thousand extra victims between rivals? Call it even!
How many people did Jesus kill? I'm no biblical scholar, but I thought it was 0 - he also taught his followers not to kill.
Mohammed personally killed people with his own hand, and ordered the massacre of many thousands in his day - and many millions have been killed in his name since.
No comparison. You can't attribute the actions of Catholicism or even extremist Christians to Jesus - because they go against his teachings - in his words, he "never knew them".
Okay, directly none, so by that limitation, Mohammed wins the contest. Now when we expand it out to include how many have been killed in their name, in the furtherance of their religion, by their followers, a whole different picture is painted. I can "attribute the actions of Catholicism or even extremist Christians to Jesus" as he planted the seed, his apostles tended that seed, all his followers ever since has spread that seed far and wide. Just as Oppenheimer is directly or indirectly responsible for every death caused by his creation in the past (or will die from a nuke in the future), so are Jesus and Mohammed responsible for what their actions have wrought. Ones actions and choices have consequences...some you must bear, and many.....others are forced to endure. The old proverb says "The road to hell is paved with good intentions". If you tally up the body count of each of the three Abrahamic-based religions, it's a toss-up who has the most victims, so all three has much to account for. That said, I'll concede that as far as the founders go, Mohammed wins as the most prolific serial killer, followed by Moses as a distant second, with Jesus sitting out the race (so far as is known).
