A 'religion of peace' and acts of terrorism...?

Historians distinguish four different manifestations of the Inquisition:
  • Medieval Inquisition (1184–1230s)
  • Spanish Inquisition (1478–1834)
  • Portuguese Inquisition (1536–1821)
  • Roman Inquisition (1542 – c. 1860 )
Islamism - as delineated by Daniel Pipes - has been going on for about 1 Century.

The Inquisition went on for nearly 7 Centuries.

This may be of interest to some...but can we survive another 6 Centuries of religious wars?

And so it goes...
