Well, JLA, that is the first substantive post I have ever read of yours on SI, and I'm grateful for it.

Your pettiness is duly noted.

Of course you can simply define their religiousness out of existence if it makes you feel more comfortable to do so.

Just as you can now claim that the perpetrators of the Inquisition were not really Christians.

Say anything to arrive at the conclusion you need to prop up your preconceptions and agenda, but of course it makes no sense. I suppose you think the Taliban aren't religious. LOL.

Few Christians were involved in the atrocities of the Inquisition. Few Muslims are involved in terrorism.

Some Christians were, some Muslims are.

I don't believe that the way it works is you get to deny the truth and switch definitions when the facts upset you. Among other things, the ploy is intellectually childish and ethically weak.


Baloney. These people are not Muslims any more than those who conducted the Inquisition were Christian. Their acts are at direct odds with the words of their respective Gods. In each instance these are animals, cloaking their actions with the mantle of religious fervor. Violence is not religion. It is violence....
