The Cathars (not the name they chose for themselves, by the way) were a dualistic pseudo-Christian sect that flourished in medieval France. They were heavily persecuted by the Catholic Church, resulting in their virtual eradication during the Albigensian Crusade.

They were exterminated because their theology was inconsistent to the point of heresy with the ruling religious authority of the time.

That was in the Thirteenth Century.

On Sept. 11, 2001, a band of muslime madmen hijacked four jet aircraft and crashed them into a variety of fixed objects, resulting in the deaths of at least 3,000 innocent Americans. Then there were the London subway bombings, the assaults in Mumbai, the Bali bombings, the Madrid bombings, and a host of other murders.

Those were yesterday.

Equivalency denied. Again.

I think the story has some more complex aspects to it than might appear on the surface - but i want to say, you're a very sharp guy - and you're a credit to FR.

Thanks for responding.
