There is still the issue of concepts of jihad and martyrdom in modern society and religion. I've made my point there.
You mean like the crusades or the martyrdom of St Peter?
That's hardly modern society is it? We've learned a few things since then. I would say that going to war in the name of religion has long since stopped being a characteristic of "Western Society". Besides, the Crusades could hardly be described as deliberate and widespread attacks on civilians. For the most part it was between opposing armies.
Sabbra and Shatilla happened in the early eighties,the Jewish brigades surrounded the refugee camps,and the Lebanese CHRISTIAN MILITIA walked in and shot every woman child and elderly person they could find.
Oklahoma City and Atlanta happened in the 90's
