So you have not read the book and you have never heard Spencer and yet pontificate some global observations. I'd suggest you have no knowledge of the Catholic hierarchy during inquisitional times. Whatever that means. I believe if you explain what you mean I will find it as dumb and simplistic as your earlier one liners. There was a time when secular governments used their alignment with the church to carry on all kinds of evil. There were no communications back then. I have no doubt that evil men became members of the church and did evil. Or was it good men seduced by the pleasures of the world or in some fear of their lives quietly allowed evil to flourish. Just as today a few priests have sinned, back then the evil hidden could have been far greater. But this evil violated the teachings of Our Lord. The Koran can be used to question the evil of those who donot kill infidels. The words in the Koran are there and do not seem ambiguous at all. In the bible, one cannot find anything like the intolerant killing and ill treatment of outsiders as a continuous policy of the faith. There is a difference in what you believe about others when there are no reliable communications and today when one can find out what is really happening. The problem may well be the Islamic clergy's attitude is there is not a problem. As to your suggestion they will forced to be changed, I suggest you read some Spencer. Mr. Spencer illustrates how this is a clash of cultures. And it appears that in the bowels of all Muslim leadership and the Koran they follow are deep shades of intolerance for the secular world and pluralism. Render to God that which is God's and to Caesar that's which is Ceasar's is blasphemy.
