sums up to mean that Islam is not an elevated religion. Now we
shall begin to explain some of the dangers that may arise from
mingling religion with politics.”
ANSWER: As we have stated earlier, this protesting priest is
continuously in error by confusing Islam with Christianity, which is
a collection of the Gospels attributed to Matthew and John and a
series of epistles ascribed to Peter and Paul. The dangers he is
going to explain, therefore, originate from the same source.
The priest goes on, “Christianity not only spread wider than
Islam, but also it did not open wars against those who would not
accept it, nor did it treat them so as to hurt their values of chastity
and honour. Christianity has always guided its believers to
goodness and abundance.”
ANSWER: Christians, after invading the Granada city,
Christianized its Muslim and Jewish inhabitants by force, using the
tribunals they named the Inquisition as a means of oppression.
Even those who would change their faith were hurled into fires
and burnt alive. [As those unfortunate people crackled in the
furious flames and their lacerating cries and wails reached high up
in the sky, the barbarous Christian Spaniards screamed and
danced with joy, all of them, men and women alike.] If this priest
had read about the savageries and cruelties recounted in the
historical chronologies about Andalusians and the Inquisition,
which were written by ecclesiastical historians, he would not have
the daring to invent the false story that “Christians did not treat
those who would not accept Christianity so as to hurt their values
of chastity and honour.” [Actually, the priest’s statement is true in
a way. For Christians did not leave any non-Christians under their
administration, annihilating them after subjecting them to
unthinkable, unimaginable methods of barbarism and torture. In
fact, these same methods of annihilation have been applied by
Protestants to Catholics, and by Catholics to Protestants. Thus, in
countries under Christians’ control, no member of any other
religion was left alive. In countries where no one belongs to
another religion, Christians’ allegation that they “did not treat
those who would not accept Christianity so as to hurt their values
of chastity and honour,” is mendacity. For there was no one left for
them to hurt the values of. Those who read the histories of
crusades written by fanatical Christian historians will see clearly
how mendacious these priests are. We asked a priest we know
what his opinon was on these writings of ours. We wanted to
know how come those Christians, who are alleged to belong to a
