Hardly. Maybe some hostility against the misuse of language, but the discussion itself drifted into the question of someone in the United States, to wit, Ms. Coulter, or parties unknown, actually "forcing" someone to convert from one religion to another.

I think you are the person who "drifted" the discussion. I just took it to those other areas of the "forced conversion idea" that usually pop up, e.g. Inquisition, Foist, Jesus as a Magician, and so forth ~ using up your next 15 posts.

Coulter and other Christians in the United States are an unrealistic threat for converting Jews to anything except maybe Democratic government. Guess that's why half of them are here and not in Europe, at large, where "forced" conversions may have taken place, and "coerced" conversions certainly did, mostly in Spain and Portugual. Seems to me there was a lot more killing of Jews than converting them ~ those guys just talked big about converting people ~ no substance to it.

The Inquisition, BTW, was not about converting people ~ it was about keeping the converted (and those born to that system) on the straight and narrow.

I really do dislike being criticised for things done by someone else's ancestors! Don't you?

Again, your comments seem to have no bearing on what I wrote. Perhaps you are just making a general response to everyone in the thread, in which case, I don’t feel compelled to pursue further discussion of your many curious comments.
