Sort of like the Inquisition did with relapsed Conversos. Spanish Jews and Moslems forced to convert to Christianity who were suspected of keeping Jewish or Moslem traditions were subject to the death penalty under Philip II. There's no monolopy on idiocy.

There's no monolopy on idiocy. I'll agree with you there!
However, it should be noted that the clowns you mentioned were not following the teachings of Jesus. But the Muslims in this report are following the teachings of Mohammed.

....under Philip II. There's no monolopy on idiocy. Especially when you lump together actions by people long dead with actions by people alive today as if they both have equal relevance to an analysis of our world today (which they don't).

So-called "Christians" who committed atrocities--under the Inquisition
et al.--
perhaps thought that they were serving God. They were not. They were serving Satan, to use a Christian and Muslim metaphor. Christianity has since evolved and expunged itself of devil-worship.
Muslims who commit atrocities today perhaps think that they are serving God. They are not. They are serving Satan, to use a Christian and Muslim metaphor. Islam should evolve beyond and expunge itself of devil-worship--or be abandoned by people who wish to serve God and do His will.

Yep, stuff like this is a trademark of most theocracies.

Let me clear something up for you.
The Inquisition happened over 500 years ago.
Christian converts from Islam are being sentenced to death TODAY. It is A.D. 2002. It is long past time that such barbaric policies be abandoned.
