re: #270 Gus 802

I find comparing death tolls between religions pointless but you’re forgetting the Crusades.

No, not necessarily. Many historians consider the Crusades to have been a mostly a defensive measure in response to the Islamist expansion into Europe and the Balkans, a counter-attack.

And if you scroll back in the thread you’ll see that it was SanFranciscoZionist that first made the attempt to draw equivalence between the death tolls of the two religions. It’s largely a false equivalence, as is shown when the tolls of the Inquisition are actually compared to present day Islamist terrorism. Islamist terrorism killed as many on September 11th as the low estimate of 350 years of the Inquisition. There have been many, many more killed in the name of Islam since and before 9/11……
