How can we condemn Muslims, when Spanish Christians killed children through Mexico, Central and South America?

Question

And the Irish Christians killed plenty of children in Ireland, and that was not very long ago.

Answer 1

Don't call them Christians. They are catholics. While they may believe in Christ, they built their own church to rule the world, not to worship, and forced the church and its beliefs down people's throats or they killed them. People who accept Christ as their savior and follow the word with no alliance with one "great" church do not harm other people. As a matter of fact, many of the victimes of the Inquisition were Christians who rejected the Catholic church.

Answer 2

The Muslims were no slouches in the killing people of differing religions back in the old days either. That was then, this is now.

Not only that. This kind of deliberate killing of civilians and suicide bombings and beheading is barbaric by even the most barbaric standards.

Your question is just plain lame. Just because you may have stolen something when you were a kid does that make it OK for anyone to steal anything?

Evil must be opposed. Lead, follow or get out of the way.

Answer 3

We who? I don't condemn Muslims.

When the Spaniards came to Mexico and South America, the indians there were killing each other. A handful of men on a couple of ships really can't do all that much damage.

What they did was teach the tribe that was continually abducted and used for slavery and human sacrifice to fight for themselves. They also brought in Christianity to bring an end to human sacrifice to pagan gods.

Yes, people are capable of great evil. Right now our own goverment is keeping us obsessed with imaginary Muslim terrorists in order to keep us from telling them to DO SOMETHING about the genocide in Darfur.

Answer 4

If we are consistent in condemning the the crimes of the past done by 'our own" then we can and must condemn the present evils done in the name of Islam. If we condemn the oppression and expulsion of the Jews and Muslims from Spain 500 yrs ago them we need to condemn the oppression and expulsions of Jews and Christians going on right now in the name of Islam in the Islamic World.

Answer 5

Here's an idea. How about specific accountability instead of stereotypical blaming?

This "you hit first" mentality will never get mankind anywhere they haven't already been.

So instead of condemning entire groups of people for what some have done, how about holding the individuals who actually perpetuate the atrocities responsible.

Answer 6

We condemn those people also, but there isn't much we can do about what happened in the past, is there?

We can only learn from our mistakes, why aren't the muslims learning from their past mistakes?

Hopefully, we can prevent the slaughter in the future.

Answer 7

EASY!!!! THEY ARE MUSLIM!!!! AND DESERVE TO DIE!!!
