Iowa Congressman Steve King contrasted Christianity and Islam Wednesday, saying that Jesus Christ did not kill people, but the Prophet Mohammad did.

Responding to MSNBC interviewer Chris Hayes, who said that last month’s Planned Parenthood shooter was driven by his Christian faith, King said that Jesus never taught his followers to kill.

“Jesus never ordered anyone to be killed, and he never raised his hand to injure anyone specifically,” the Republican King said. “But Mohammed did, and there is a big difference in this.”
