Religion of Peace?
What a leader of this historically not-so-peaceful religion has said:
Wherefore with earnest prayer I, not I, but God exhorts you... to repeatedly urge men of all ranks whatsoever, knights as well as foot-soldiers, rich and poor, to hasten to exterminate this vile race from our lands...For all those going thither there will be remission of sins if they come to the end of this fettered life while marching by land, crossing by sea or in fighting the pagans. This I grant to all who go, through the power vested in me by God.
Oh what a disgrace if a race so despicable, degenerate, and enslaved by demons should thus overcome a people endowed with faith in Almighty God!
I mean, this is just to be clear that "He without sin among you, cast the first stone" when it comes to analyzing world religions.
