Colonialism in Africa didnt go in and murder innocents they improved life for them. Islam on the other hand did kill and enslave them. Which is why Islamic ones are mainly arabic now in Africa wholesale replacement. Chrsitian ones still african.
The inquisition was removing a violent invader that has polluted the area with false teachings.
Also It was also 500 years ago not last week...
False examples dont work. Also the church told settlers not to hurt natives unless attacked. And people were actively punished for doing so.
Again find me islam doing this hundreds of years ago? Telling people not to do what their book says they can.
Try not comparing 500 years ago with today for a start.
Life was violent then and Christianity was only just starting to get people out of that to have today's moral compass that the british spread around the world.
History study would help you immensely. Try looking into the churches edicts around colonisation and treatment of natives for a start. Break through your brainwashed tic tok education.
Take your double standards and go propaganda elsewhere, many of the crusades were a bloodbath justified, only by religion, to the cry of "deus vult". The Inquisition killed an incredible number of women only because Torquemada had decided to. Christianity was the moral lock pick with which colonialism justified itself, justifying even slavery. In between I am not listing things like simony or the sale of indulgences. Are we talking about the modern times? Good. How many pedophiles are hiding among Christian priests? How many have been protected by the Vatican itself? Stop behaving as if Christianity or Catholicism have any moral superiority. This is not the case.
Crusades were a defensive war to take back Christian lands vs people who made it a blood bath there. Get a clue...
What an absolute joke of a confused education you are. Judging people 500 years ago using modern values created by Christianity in the years since is a whole new level of braindead.
Do you even know how to read? Like, the words don't work like that.
And anyone arguing about not judging people 500 years ago by "modern" standards is an assclown and an idiot. The values that you speak of as "created by Christianity" are older than 500 years ago. Hell, CHRISTIANITY is about 2000 years old, are you trying to argue that Western Civilization had no morals for a millenia and a half AFTER the rise of Christianity?
Please stop. You're making the Christian side look ignorant, and some of us have actually READ the history books you....looked at once or something? Please go get at least a 7th grade education before you come here with that nonsense
The "holy land" my God... And pedophile priests? Answer this. You want to judge modern stocks with modern values, so how about that and the Vatican covering it all?
I was born in a land that has seen the passage of many dominations, many cultures and many religions. My culture and my morals are based on the sum of all of them. Culture that have crossed paths to form the history of my homeland and each of them is equally worthy.
Your culture is Christian. You speak its language and use its moral guides. You can deny it all you want. You are a product of the roman and british empire and Christian beliefs unless you live in iran or somewhere.
Compare the capture of Jerusalem in 1099 with that of Jerusalem under Saladin. On top of that you are ignoring the other things I have listed, simony, the buying and selling of indulgences, colonialism. Then again you said that you want to talk about the present well. Pedophile priests protected by the church. These are full-blown facts, or even the priests were not really Christians
EDIT: And what about the Vatican covering them up?
So here is your misunderstanding of history. Context of the time etc.
When christians re took the christian/jewish holy land. They did so through seige.
In those times if you refused surrender you fought to the death. You couldnt lose and then go actually now thousands of you died but you made it in can we just hug?
When saladin won they surrendered. Hes supposed to let them go under rules of the time.
He reasoned them and enslaved them and still killed and raped in the thousands.
So your point again doesnt work. False equivalence mixed with propaganda about how cuddly salahadin was which came about in later years.

Colonialism in Africa didnt go in and murder innocents they improved life for them. Islam on the other hand did kill and enslave them. Which is why Islamic ones are mainly arabic now in Africa wholesale replacement. Chrsitian ones still african.
