I do not hate Muslims. I am happy that the majority of Muslims fail to adhere to the tenets of their religion. One absolutely cannot, however, depend on what Muslims tell non-Muslims about what they believe, since those who lie in order to support the advance of Islam get a free pass. In order to get an accurate picture, one must look at what Muslims tell other Muslims, and how Muslims have treated non-Muslims in majority Islam countries now and in the past. Alas, that picture is not so pretty.

Then focus on what he actually says and does rather than being preoccupied concocting stories to attack him for. As I've repeatedly says he provides plenty of ammunition to use without needing to make stuff up and thereby ruin any and all credibility.

The number of witches actually executed by the Inquisition was something like less than 100 out of 125,000 trials in 400 years (I've actually read less than 40 from the three main branches of the Inquisition between the 1400s to the 1800s from official Catholic sources). Granted, any number is too high coming from religious authorities who purport to be doing the will of Jesus, but it was hardly the genocide it's often been painted as. Several factors lend to why the Inquisition got the reputation it did for witch burning, the biggest of which is the fact that certain anti-Catholic Protestant writers and preachers ballooned the numbers in order to make Catholicism out as nefarious as possible. They never dreamed that many years later skeptics would use their own numbers to condemn all of Christianity and not just Catholicism. Another big factor is Gerald Gardner's popular theory on "the burning times". Gardner was an early 20th century spiritualist and amateur historian who eventually co-created most of the grounding beliefs of Wicca. He took a lot of his ideas on this from 19th century suffragist and Theosophist/Spiritualist Matilda Gage, who asserted that 9 million women were burned during this period. Modern historians have found that these numbers are radically inflated. The secular courts were responsible for the majority of witch trials and executions, not official branches of the church like the Inquisition. The number of people executed for witchcraft by secular courts during the 400 year period was between 30,000 to 50,000 (both men and women) and mostly in and around Germany. It was the Church that actually stepped in to stop the secular witch executions, with the Inquisition finding that most accusations of witchcraft and sorcery were unfounded, they pushed to have trials dismissed, and were skeptical of all forms of rumors, superstitions, and popular books on witchcraft. Unfortunately, popular thinking has never really let go of the Inquisition myth. The Inquisition's main goal was not to execute people for witchcraft and what they believed was heresy, but to move people back to a proper Roman Catholic view of orthodox Christianity. Technomage (Oustis), Tweb's resident Wicca practitioner, used to preach against the concept of the "burning times" all the time back before the forum crash. JimL must have seen him talk about it a couple times...Last edited by Adrift; 11-27-2017, 09:49 AM.

The woman who accused Roy Moore of pinching her butt as she left Moore's office has some serious credibility issues. Shockingly, the paper that first reported this story completely failed to mention the bitter and humiliating custody battle over the woman's son in which Moore represented the woman's mother:
Is somebody looking for payback?Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
