Hateful witch of a daughter

I once met a red bearded Dublin guy who seemed to have become a Muslim in a weird kind of Dances With Wolves transformation.
He was hanging around with some shady Muslim guys at the GPO who were actively trying to convert people to Islam and he seemed like a complete loon. When I hear about Westerners who have gone full jihadi my blood runs cold thinking about it.

Converts are often the worst and most fanatical of adherents, they're typically damage individuals desperate for some kind of certianty and direction and a pretty absolutist form of Islam gives them that.

Anybody watch 'My Son the Jihadi' on Channel 4? I'd reccomend it. It's terrifying how a nice, middle class, white schoolboy can go from shy kid to sombody that films themselves executing men women and children.

To listen to his 13yr old 'bride' explain to his mother how she should be happy that he had died in the service of Allah was bizzare, and it was hearbreaking to listen to his mother tell her that sadly she rather presumed that he was burning in hell for what he had done.

I hate to bring Hitler into all these discussions but people in Germany were normal before he came to power and then the majority of them would have followed the lunatic to death for a time! Propaganda is a powerful thing

Yep.

Northpole would be fine. Good luck with the ramadan during 6 months of daylight

well no germany had come through a period of enormous upheaval, with massive financial turmoil and could with a struggle with radical Bolshevism. Hilter merely presented himself as having solutions ( which he did ) and a " grateful : electorate looked no further

in that regard ISIL is not dissimilar, it exists because of the chaos and disruption that has gone on and they are a product of the Sunni Shia divide, irag acts as a protector ( of sorts ) for the Shias, driving the Sunni population into the hands of ISIL

ISIL isn't comprised of lunatics, it a reaction to a situation , that otherwise would not get anything other then fringe support

What does that have to do with what ISIS are doing in the name of Islam. Do really think there's similarities between radical Islam and the Catholic Church in 2015.

Perhaps you should actually look up the numbers and the facts.

The Inquisition technically had jurisdiction only over those professing to be Christians.
The courts of the Inquisition were extremely fair compared to their secular counterparts at the time.
The Inquisition was responsible for less than 100 witch-hunt deaths, and was the first judicial body to denounce the trials in Europe.
Though torture was commonly used in all the courts of Europe at the time, the Inquisition used torture very infrequently.
During the 350 years of the Spanish Inquisition, between 3,000-5,000 people were sentenced to death (about 1 per month).
I believe they were actually responsible for far fewer deaths then that though because you could get off by recanting your heresy.

That's pretty much a good week for ISIS...........

The reality is that there was, despite what people imagine, never any kind of 'Catholic ISIS', in fact if you want any Christian movement that came even close to the ballpark, that would be the Protestant Reformation in England under Henry the Eighth, they spent a lot of time burning books, destroying statues and burning people at the stake.

In short, most peoples image of the Spanish Inquisition is based on Monty Python rather then history, but then most people are pretty dumb.
