Comparative history and Inquisition: It's always interesting to argue history and give it different perspectives. But how does one apply that knowledge of events gone by to the current world we live in? It is often said that history repeats itself. More fundamentally, IN PRINCIPLE how does Portuguese-Inquisition rule differ from Muslim-Islamic rule? Sure there are differences in detail.
Tariq's points are well taken. There is much to be said for guilt by association. But this is valid, as long as the same 'guilt by association' is applied to all analysis and situations. I hope Filomena, Tariq and Teotonio can educate us on the comparative perspectives of the colonial Inquisition-Portuguese v/s today's Islamic-Muslim rule with religion as a strong inspiration, influence and effect.
