The fact that people have persecuted under the pretext of following Jesus only goes to show that those who said they were Christians did not possess the peace of God and that they were not followers associate of Jesus' teachings. Yes, the church still smells from the smoke if the Inquisition which WRONGLY destroyed associate heretics in order RIGHTLY destroy heresies. But Jesus himself warned that there would be those who called him "Lord" but would act directly against the will of God. Christianity does not stand or fall on the way Christians have acted throughout history or are acting today. Christianity stands or falls on the person of Jesus, and Jesus was not a hypocrite. He lived consistently with what He taught, and at the end of His life He challenged those who had lived with Him night and day, for over three years, to point out any hypocrisy in Him.
