"Before anyone condemns Islam for this, think of Galileo and Jacques DeMolay. Both were charged with heresy and blasphemy. DeMolay was burned at the stake."

In case you missed it, Christianity went through a major reformation a few centuries ago. Islam never has and never will reform, unless it 'reforms' to new yet-to-be-imagined extremes.

Islam has been around about as long as Christianity had at the time of the Salem witch trials. Who's to say what it will be like in another 400 or so years?

Every extreme act committed by Islam can be compared to those committed by Christianity in times past. Witch burnings, the Inquisition, the Crusades, and the Genocide against Native Americans were every bit as extreme as those perpetrated by Islam.

“Islam never has and never will reform, unless it ‘reforms’ to new yet-to-be-imagined extremes.”

Christian reform was a return to the plain language of the New Testement. That can’t happen with Islam, unless they ditch the Koran and the ahadith.
