The inquisition was pretty infamous for it's sadism. To try to pin such such brutality on Islam seems a little...myopic to me. What the inquisition did was arguably much worse than rape. |
Wow...FreedomSeeker even managed to caps “TODAY” and you still reverted back to the ancient inquisition |
Because it is relevant in this context. He is trying to apply atrocities to a specific religion. Why should Christianity be immune? There are Christians today, in America (for example), that advocate the execution of homosexuals. BFD.
You want us to single out Islamic extremes while ignoring Christian ones? |
He’s trying to recognize atrocities committed in the name of religion and/or a religious based governments that are occurring TODAY (which is why he “caps” it).
The tiny, almost insignificant minority of American Christians who want homosexuals executed have absolutely no power. Sharia law is a national mandate. If you cannot see the difference in influence, I’ll equate that logical fallacy to your comparing modern day Islamic societies with Christian ones.

I have seen no evidence that a substantial number of Muslims support Sharia law TODAY either. The nations that have sharia law are (without exception as far as I know) non-democratic. You are jumping to the conclusion that everyone in those nations supports these brutal practices TODAY, when you really have no way of knowing that. |
I can only form my opinion based off of previous Muslim reactions to various situations. Draw a cartoon of their beloved Prophet...and you get world-wide Muslim condemnation, millions of protesters all over the globe, murders, riots, death threats, etc...
Beyond the limited freedoms that women have in Sharia law that FreedomSeeker has pointed out (and that all of us constantly read, see and hear about)...there are mountains of other injustices safely protected with a disguise of religion, religious based governments, and moral relativism.

Yes, and it is unfortunate that brutal practices, such as this, are only coming from Islamic based governments....TODAY.
