Did you read the Christanity and Violence link you sent as there is more text than not within that stating those people who used violence have stepped away from original beliefs to fulfil their personal desires twisting their book to fit it.Stalin purged anyone who he felt was a threat to his control. He didn't murder people because they were religious, he murdered religious people because he felt religion superceded his influence, much like how the North Korean government treats its citizens today

You'll also see that the Catholic church was reponsible for most which from its creation has tore up the true meaning of Christianity. They made up half the things they believe in order to gain power, it differs hugely from the original Christian faith.
