Furthermore, the Spanish Inquisition was actually started by the state - not the Church - to root out those Jews and Muslims who had "converted" merely for political and social advantages, while secretly continuing to practice their former religion.



Right, it was mostly a fallout from the reconquista of the Iberian peninsula.

Just raped as children and scarred for life.




And nobody is excusing that. My point is that it is not the official stance of the Church. It is not Church Dogma that calls for the molestation of children, or the cover up. And if you think that it was ok with the Catholic laity that those terrible crimes were committed, then you are horribly mistaken.



Whereas the dogma of Islam excuses all sorts of things such as forced conversion, death if one converts to another religion, and the fact that it's ok to rape a non-Muslim woman.

But way to miss the point.

Go see them on the other side. However, you forfeit your posting privileges after you are dead.

Beulah good one but to say these were not Catholics killing Jews and Muslims is off base. Thats like saying ISIS isn't Muslim based.
