Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Yes, they know not what they do
that is a perfect example. They feel like they are doing the right thing, but in reality they are not aware that they are going against God and the order of the universe, or whatever. The Roman people, the Jewish people, of that time that Jesus was killed, had no idea what they were doing or who the man on the cross was. But even then, Jesus asked for their forgiveness.

The only part of the New Testiment that Jesus advocated violence was throwing the money changers out of the temple. Your can ignore the book of Rvelations because it hasn't happened yet and will only come about because Humanity messed up so badly that Jesus had to come back to fix things. But anyway, true Christians would not have gotten involed in the Cruisades, the Inquisition, because Jesus did not advocate those things. It was a mistake made by Christians of those times. They did not know what they were doing, they thought they were doing good. But in reality they gave Christianity a bad name.

New Actually
Neither the Crusades nor the Inquisition were 'misguided Christians' who didn't know what they were doing. The Crusdaes were simply a land grab using the "Holy Lands" as an excuse. IIRC, more mid-east Christians were killed than any other group. The Inquisition was a political power play. I believe it was reluctantly given support by the church early on when they didn't know how far it would go. Like the Anglican split from the Catholic Church, it was a strange mixture of politics and religion by people far more focused on the politics while using the religion as a facade

Problem with Christianity is that anyone can claim to be a Christian and then their actions reflect on all Christians and Christ. But as Jesus said "You will know them by their fruit"
