If we saw thousands of christians in London marching and screaming Death to Islam...Death to Persians! There would be an outcry like you have never heard from our media, but we are shown media of them doing so all of the time, over cartoons, over just about anything.
Is an open discussion even possible?
Your thoughts?

I would also like to hear why you would think that I feel that it is OK to torture anybody?
Instead of trying to paint me a hypocrite, which is a waste of time since I am not (ask the proper questions in order to find out) why not deal with my question by just answering it?
And by the way, I thought you were making an analogy to the Inquisition, since you didn't frame your question very well. Catholics? WTF?
