I always find it amusing to point out to the college hippies and liberal artistic folk that I run into where I live how Islam is not the religion of peace. They try and argue that we must be more culturally diverse and embrace Islam while at the same time they spare so expense to trash Christianity. I hear all the arguments about the Inquisition and witch-trials and so forth and have acknowledged those events without blinking an eye. Every religion has it dark eras. I then remind them that through reformation from the people and within the church itself, those events are fairly hard to come by these days. The same can't be said for Islam. The church doesn't give the green light to bash in your daughter's head just because she got knocked-up out of wedlock. It tends to annoy liberals when I tell them the difference between Catholicism and Islam is that if you piss off the Church, they only excommunicate you, while in Islam, they execute you.
