You cannot be serious. The main religion here has been tormenting, enslaving, murdering and mass-murdering everyone they didn’t like for centuries now.

Good grief, they’ve even killed each other over their religion. Anyone who’s taken a European history class knows that.

Nothing is new about what they are. They’re what they’ve always been.
