I suppose, in a way, you could say that it would make him more of a Hitler like person which would disqualify him from this thread.

I understand that, but its completely wrong perception.
If I start killing in the name of Mother Teresa that would not make her dangerous or bad woman.
Dangerous were those that killed in the name of Jesus, not Jesus himself. If he ordered them to kill, that would make him dangerous. But it was the opposite, he taught people to behave good and "turn other cheek" etc. It was neither his intention, nor his fault that bad people used his name as an excuse to do bad things.
