You're completely right. I mean, heck, not even 100-200 years ago, you had Catholics burning Protestant tracts and bible translations in the U.S. because of the false teachings contained therein.

Really? In the US? Since Catholics had historically been minorities in the US I think this is highly improbable.

In Europe - very likely - but likely not in the US unless it was in colonial Maryland.

I don't know what this has to do with confronting Islam except that it gives you a chance to take a gratuitous shot at Catholicism. Congratulations.

Well, maybe not public burnings, but I recall reading in a biography of an early American priest that he asked his flock to give him any tracts or bible they received from Protestants so he could burn them.
