No, they don’t have to stop using the Inquisition as a valid explaination of their suspecions towards Christians. Forced conversions are wrong. Period. Full stop. It doesn’t matter if it happened one hundred or five hundred or even two thousand years ago, what’s wrong is wrong and time doesn’t change that.

Now, I’ll grant you that it’s used more now as a crutch to stifle religious debate and stir up an emotional response than as a legitimate gripe, but that doesn’t change the fact that it was wrong.

As for how Israel treats the Muslim squatters on land that God Himself deeded to the Jews, they’re getting off far easier than the Canaanites did when the Israelites first occupied that piece of real estate.

"More people are killed by Islamists each year than in all 350 years of the Spanish Inquisition combined."

I think we can join forces, Christians and Jews, and look at who is killing whom, and fight them.

If a person of either Jewish or Christian persuasion can forgive, and doesn't demand punishment for inter-generational guilt, then we're pretty much past any difficulties.

Let's all go kill some Islamofascists before they kill us!

Indiscriminate use of the Inquisition /Crusades as an example of religious bigotry only serves to mitigate its effectiveness, and it is beginning to ferment anti-semetic responses. This carefree use of these historic instances from ancient history, especially those not occurring in this nation, does not serve the best interests of Judaism.

Perhaps to be more relevant we should cite the Know Nothing movement or Naivest activities of 19 Century America which has to be a proud protestant moment.

I am sure the Palestine non Jewish residents would have some question concerning the gift of God to the jack booted thugs who identify themselves as Jews.More Americans are beginning to listen and sympathize with the plight of these peoples especially when the Jews continue cite persecution from centuries past. The past is making prisoners of the Jew.
