Islam Vs. Christianity

[PixelPusher]

Muslims are by no means the only religion that is the opposite of another
religion. There are also Jews which do no believe as Christians, within
the Christian religions there are many factions that believe differently and
worship differently than the other. But there is one very big exception. No
one religion within the Protestant, Jewish or Catholic religion has the
other tried to force their religion on the other. Can we say the same about
Muslims? I think not. Because even among their own sects one or the
other has tried to force the other to abide by their way of worship. That
is a fact. Oh, and before I forget, yes I know there was religious wars
fought in ancient times by the Catholic church.

Spanish Inquisition
"cramming down throats" was just one of many things going on in this otherwise polite request upon the Jews to convert to Catholism. (as a side note, historian Monty Python has suggested on many occasions that "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition")

Thirty Years War
Just in case anyone didn't realize that Catholics and Protestants did more than simply argue fine points of theology on message boards back in the day.

LOL, Xray...that was just plain silly.

Burning at the stake, or torturing you to death wasn't cramming it down your throats in a literal sense I suppose.

are you out of your mind?? have you not studied European history AT ALL!?


EDIT: Nevermind, I see Pixel and thurambar already pointed that out. Perfect example of how xray talks out of his ass most of the time.

Does anyone read "completely" what I wrote. Hey, the Catholic of ancient times.
I thought we were speaking of recent times. But I should have known better.


You got to love this board to stay on it. All of us. Conservatives, Republicans
and Democrats.......notice the spelling of Democrats......

Now to get ready for the Cowboys game.....have a nice night.

Hey, when you quote someone, make sure my name isn't in the quote like in your post damnit. I didn't say that stuff.

Jesus vs Muhammed, you make the call:
1. Which one condoned murder?
2. Which one condoned raiding?
3. Which one married a 9-year old?
4. Which one was a warlord?
5. Which one condoned and even owned slaves?
6. Which one condoned sex with female slaves?
7. Which one required believers to conquer and convert, make second class or kill non-believers.

For a minute there I thought he was talking about George Washington.

Change "Jesus" to "Old Testament" and it's a draw all the way down the line.
