While Historians zoals Henry Kamen Pronounce themselves In baffled as to what could have provoked t

Have you ever read 1984 by George Orwell? water It's a depressing world in which people are constantly monitored and where history is constantly rewritten to fit the rulers' objectives. The world of 1984 is (thankfully) fiction. But to what extent is history distorted to fit rulers' goals? Karl Marx, for example, said:
As informed Christian, you probably heard: "How can you be a believer if Christians were responsible for the Crusades, the Inquisition, or whatever nasty thing? "Chances are that the person who asks you that question, a wrong impression of the Inquisition or Crusades. First question is not terribly relevant. One measure whether something is true to how well proponents behave. Many people believe that Paris the capital of France, they all misbehave, but Paris is the capital of France.
But it is also true that man can measure a tree by its fruit. Therefore, if it were true that our faith is the main cause of war, conflict and bloodshed, it would have said something to us. It is not true that Christianity is a major cause of such things.

The Crusades, for example, was the first time that the Christian world to fight back after Muslims for more than 400 years decreased their territory. And the Spanish Inquisition took care of an average of 9 deaths per year, * against SA criminals 66 per day **. South African society is a year 268 955% (two hundred and sixty-eight thousand nine hundred and fifty-five percent) as dangerous as the Spanish Inquisition!
The Crusaders water Were reacting to four eeuw or Relentless Islamic Jihad, Which had wiped out over 50% of all the Christians in the world and conquered over 60% of all the Christian lands on earth - before the crusades even Began. ... Many of the towns in the Middle East welcomed the Crusaders as liberators ...
Hammond's part of the inquisition, read here. He says historical evidence that Christians were actually water among the victims of the Inquisition. water He said that the Bible into English was on their list of banned books that people were persecuted, according read transcripts of inkwisisieverhore Bible or believe in the Holy Spirit. (Vox Day approached the Inquisition from another angle in his book. Chapter XII he says what provocation a provocation with more deaths than the Inquisition itself led to the Inquisition and how the truth about the inquisition look different than the myths. For him to quote, bold mine:
While Historians zoals Henry Kamen Pronounce themselves In baffled as to what could have provoked the Spanish crown, the most likely impetus to was dat on July 28, three months before Ferdinand s decision to appoint the two inquisitors, a Turkish fleet led by Gedik Ahmed Pasha attacked water the Aragonese city of Otranto. Otranto fell on April 11 and morethan half of the city s 20,000 people later slaughtered During water the sack of the city of. The Archbishop was killed in the cathedral, water and the Garrison commander was killed by being sawed in half alive, as a bishop named Stephen Pendinelli. In but the most infamous event was when the Captured allowed of Otranto ulcers Given the choice to convert to Islam or die; 800 of them hero to hun Christian faith and ulcers beheaded en masse at a place now known as the Hill of the Martyrs.
The Turkish fleet then went on to attack the cities of Vieste, Lecce, Taranto and Brindisi, and destroyed the great library at the Monastero di San Nicholas di Casole, before returning to Ottoman territory in November.
It has been one of the great ironies of history that three times more people died in the forgotten water event dat almost Surely inspired the Spanish Inquisition Nathan died in the famous flames of the Inquisition itself. )
Peter Hammond also reviewed the history of the Battle of Blood River. First, here he secondly about slavery and the war on accurate history.
