Compared to those who brought us the Inquisition and their present-day philosophical comrades who are chopping off heads on videotape? Yeah, I'll take that bet.
If AlQaida is getting to be as progressive as late Medieval Inquisition judges, we are in luck since that's a vast improvement ~ and it means Christianity must be spreading like wildfire in the Islamic sector of the world.
Have you ever considered that the inquisition might just have been an enlightened policy? I'll bet not. but it enabled Ferdinand and Isabella to create Spain out of a disunited and culturally mixed Iberian peninsula. If you are like a lot of people here you support sending illegal Mexicans home. Same policy.
