[QUOTE="mdancin4theLord, post: 59593593, member: 289215"] The Crusades were an attempt on the part of Christians to recover territory that had been taken from them my Islamic armies. They fought to defend themselves from foreign conquests while Muslims fought to continue conquering Christian lands. European Christians had good reason to be concerned about foreign conquest. Islamic armies had been turned back from conquering what is now France at the Battle of Tours. Had islamic armies won that battle, the entire history of Western Civilization would have been radically altered. The Spanish Inquisition...it is bacially on a global scale a myth that was concocted by the political enemies of Spain....and religion. If you look at the total number of people who were executed by Roman Catholic inquisitors for heresy....it amounts to about two thousand. Sounds like a lot, right? The fact is these two thousands lives taken happened over a period of 350 years. You should also have brought up the witch trials in Salem...suprised you didnt. This is one of the best examples of religiously motivated violence in America. Just how many people were killed in those trials? Thousands....hundreds? Did you know that fewer than twenty five died. In fact nineteen were sentenced to death and the rest died while captive. So is Christianity responsible for the most of the evil in world hardly. It is an error in proportion claiming that these examples inflicted in the name of Christianity comes anywhere close to what godless regimes headed by men like Hitler, STalin and Mao have done.
