The Spanish Inquisition was right about Islamofascists

The Spanish Inquisition was one of history’s most monstrous institutions but the monster was entirely an Islamofascist creation. More specifically, Islamofascist behavior created the need for the Inquisition, along with modern airport security checkpoints, Israel’s security wall, and the controversial Patriot Act. The only problem with the Inquisition was that the monster soon turned on innocent people and perpetuated religious hatred and intolerance. Furthermore, even a broken clock is right twice a day, the Inquisition was right about Hitler in a Headscarf, and perhaps that one aspect of the Inquisition is worthy of imitation today.

After Spain recaptured southern Iberia (Andalusia, Granada, and Gibraltar) from the Moors, it was however confronted with the spectre of an ideologically-hostile population that could turn on it at any time.

They were not "Moors." They were "Moops."

Someone should let him know that the Spanish Inquisition wasn't exactly fun for the Jews, many of whom emigrated to the Ottoman Empire where they had more rights. But of course, I doubt he really cares about the truth; the propaganda won't just write itself.

Actually, I think Bill Levinson is a Jew...and the blog is IsraPundit.

Oh look someone did inform him-- read the text:

"The problem was that it provided a convenient mechanism for confiscating property and settling private grudges (as dramatized in Captain from Castile) and it soon turned into an uncontrollable monster that even Spain’s monarchs could not control. It also had to perpetuate its own existence after it ran out of Islamofascists and it did so by persecuting loyal and productive Spanish Jews and Moors"

You need to know that 700 years of oppression and terror against Xstians at the hands of Muslims was no picnic!

The Muslim Turks "took in" Jews in occupied lands that did not belong to them...dispersing, massacring, displacing Xstians in order to do so.

The more I see of your foolish posts the more embarrassing you become.

That's why I pointed out that it hurt more Jews than Moriscos.

You clearly have no grasp of history. Get an education before you say I look silly.

I don't need to say anything...your words speak volumes of empty air.
