Well, of course any natural disaster like a plague takes out more people than an Inquisition, but it still cannot be denied that thousands died in the torture rooms of the bloody Inquisition.

Remember-the Inquisition took place 1500 years after the end of the writing of the New Testament. The Muslims are 200 to 300 years behind, theologically speaking. This places them at the height of the religious tolerance of the 17th century. As you know, the 17th century was a neverending period of destructive wars between Catholic and Protestant Kings.

When you have to go that many hundreds of years back in order to scare up a few victims, a couple thousand out of... how many billions of Christians have lived in the last 2000 years? I'm sorry, but there is no comparison between that blip, and Islam's bloody history... not to mention the current polls that show 80% or so of Muslims support the forcible implementation of a world wide Islamic caliphate. You couldn't find .08% of Christians saying "Yeah, the Inquisition, that was pretty cool. We should do it again."
