Da pres lied when he said that. Deliberately and intentionally. He desperately doesn’t want us to know that this bunch is violent and sadistic.
Calling it “ISIS” avoids calling it “IS” which would have people asking what the “I” stands for.

Bad analogy, and self-defeating.
Jihad is an essential part of the Koran, and a core feature of all Islamic societies from the beginning.
Formal inquisitorial courts only existed in certain places and at certain times, and are not an essential feature of either the Church's Scriptures or its catechetical teaching.

Where are all of the Stop Jihad Now! signs?

“Well, the Crusades certainly werent Christian.”
Your screen name “Paladin” makes that particularly ironic. My junior high school (Catholic) was the “Paladins.”
In seriousness, yes, the Crusades got way out of hand and killed a lot of people that didn’t need killing -— innocent Jewish villages, in particular.
But the Crusades really started as a largely defensive war against invading Jihadis.

Good one but it won’t work. Catholics have revised the history of the Inquisition. Either it wasn’t Catholics that did it (rogue Protestants no doubt), or it wasn’t really bad (Jews should thank Catholics, stealing their property, torturing, forcing conversion, and murder aren’t that bad - after all, they were told to leave Spain! ).

Not all the Germans were Nazis.
And not all the Nazis were Germans.
