George Wallace said:Gosh! I wonder what your opinion of the Spanish Inquisition would be. "Adopt Christ or Die and be Baptised in Death". Talk about not looking at the facts. So Christianity is a few hundred years ahead of Islam, does that change the fact that once upon a time Christianity had just as "fanatical" sects in its midst as Islam has today?
I'm an atheist. I don't distinguish between the torture, mutilation and murder committed in Christ's name from that done in Mohammed's name. I've looked at the world around me and what I see is that religion kills. Religion is like a childhood disease that Humanity is suffering from, once we mature as a species then religion will wither on the vine.
The Spanish Inquisition was the Catholic Church's attempt to stamp out Free Speech and Free Thought and to exert political control through the systematic use of terror and oppression; this is no different than what islam is trying to do today. I see no difference between the two.
Religion is the cancer, freedom is the answer.
