Ummmmm, read any annual report from Amnesty since its inception. Torture and execution for adhering (or suspicion of adherence) to the ‘wrong’ religion is a tradition for just about every religion in the world, especially when it comes to dissenters within the same faith; Shia vs. Sunni, Catholic versus Protestant, for example.
You want a specific example; the Islamic theocracy in Iran spent most of the last 24 years (and still might be) torturing and executing members of the Bahia faith.
This is something Christianity has no monopoly on.
