The Inquisition, Inquisitio Haereticae Pravitatis (inquiry on heretical perversity), was the "fight against heretics" by several institutions within the justice-system of the Roman Catholic Church. It started in the 12th century, with the introduction of torture in the persecution of heresy.[1] Inquisition practices were used also on offences against canon law other than heresy.

The Crusades were a series of religiously sanctioned military campaigns, called by the pope and waged by kings and nobles who volunteered to take up the cross with the main goal of restoring Christian control of the Holy Land. The crusaders came from all over western Europe, and fought a series of disconnected campaigns between 1095 and 1291; historians have given them numbers. Similar campaigns in Spain and Eastern Europe continued into the 15th century. The Crusades were fought mainly by Roman Catholics against Muslims and Greek Orthodox Christians in Byzantium, with smaller campaigns waged against pagan Slavs, pagan Balts, Mongols, and Christian heretics.[1] Orthodox Christians also took part in fighting against Islamic forces in some Crusades. Crusaders took vows and were granted a plenary indulgence by the pope.

Im not going to acknowledge that because Muslims are the main aggressors in the world. Not only to the west but their own people...
And yes, its very relevant the way muslim countries treat their own people. Because if they treat their own citizens like animals and garbage we can't expect them to treat other people and cultures any differently.
Class dismissed...

The difference betweem islam and the other religions is the fact that islam imposes incredibly strict laws on its people, and that twisted set of laws causes most of the problems. There is no equivalent of sharia law in Christianity. At most there are some denominational or catholic rituals which are practiced half-heartedly by some of the believers. If you don't do them, maybe some people will stare at you in church. If you break sharia law, you will be killed. There is no equivalence. Only bitter, hateful atheists would try to tell that big of a lie, to pretend there is equivalence here.

1. Afghanistan.
The Taliban offered to hand Bin Laden over if evidence was provided, but George W.Bush instead chose to bomb Afghanistan.
2. Iraq.
A war based on lies and deception of the American people (anybody remember the mobile chemical laboratories? WMDs? yellowcake uranium from Niger?) 1 million dead because of a few lies.
3. Pakistan.
Drone attacks on Pakistani villagers... because its so easy to kill at the push of a button, right?
4. Libya.
NATO bombards a country that was just minding its own business... just because it can.
5. Israel.
Western backed rogue state, with its state of the art military, brutalizes a weaker population while the world twiddles its thumbs.
