No, the Inquisition did not approach the atrocities of ISIS.
It's estimated that from 1540-1700 ( a period of time we have good records for ) the Spanish Inquisition killed between 3000 and 5000 people.
So 160 years of the worst of Christianity matches two months or so of violent Muslim killings.

Inquisition was not the worst atrocity perpetrated by Christianity. The genocide of the native Americans by the Catholic church was the worst atrocity perpetrated by anyone in the human history. Consider these:
1. The native population of Mexico reduced to 25 million to 1 million in less than 100 years.
2. The Taino/Carib population of the West Indies (8 million) completely exterminated in 60 years.
3. The native Brazilian population reduced from 15 million to 1 million in 100 years.
To be fair here, not all of this extermination was a direct result of Christianity, a lot of it was plain old greed and conquest independent of religion.
Well, truth be told, most of religion is about greed and conquest.
Most religion is about greed and conquest, but basically one who doesn't believe in any of the religion are the most greedier as well independent of religion.
I'm not even sure what that's supposed to mean. No comprendes.
