Two can play this game.
"I know.. I know,,"
but with all due respect, while the Spanish where murdering every Jew and Muslim in sight in the name of Mary, and Jesus, the Muslim Ottomans were allowing the Greeks, Serbs, and Croats to continue practicing their Christian faith, only at the cost of an extra tax that they paid for military protection. In fact, where Im from (Kosovo) there is still a very large Christian minority left intact the country, that had never converted to Islam (forced conversions are considered blasphemous in Islam; though the Ottomans sometimes didnt follow through with this). Tell me, Hotttnickkk, is there a Muslim or Jewish minority in modern day France? Spain? Sicily? So much your your pacifist faith!!!!!
How do YOU respond to that?
Answer: You shouldn't. If you are going to base the actions of <1% of a faith's population, and apply them to the rest of the faith, then you are either utterly misinformed, or you are skewing a perception of a faith in order to fit some sort of pre-determined agenda, or belief you have against another faith. I will never base my opinions of Christianity off of the terrible Quran-burning churches, Norwegian terrorists (who killed what, 90 teenagers? because of his country's distancing from its Christian roots?) etc. I would expect, and hope, that you would do the same.
