The inquisition was an absolutely normal human response to what people, at the time, saw as an attact on the truths of Christianity.

And THAT is the problem with it and Catholicism.

Just where was the Christlike response from those calling themselves Christ's representatives on earth?

To protect the christian religion, they attacked the interlopers....kind of like the crusaders attacking the enemy at that time, the muslims.

Baloney. There's no comparison between the Reformationists and islam and the muslims and anyone with any real knowledge of history would know that.

There's a world of difference between employing islamist methods to subjugate dissenters by torture and murder, confiscation of property and families, and defending yourself from armed attack by muslim invaders.

whiule there is certainly no comparison between the revolutionaries (you REFORM FROM WITHIN)and the muslims in their belief systems, they were, in fact, both attacking the only protectors of Christianity that existed at the time.....it doesn't matter who attacks your home, a muslim or a christian....you defend it with everything that you have.
