Being stoned to death at the hands of a Muslim or burned at the stake as so many were back then. Difference is Muslims haven't progressed out of the Dark Ages as other folks have...  |
Actually if the Spanish Royals didn't kick out the Arabs before and during the inquisition the middle East may have been very different now. Prior to that the Arabs were studying science and Greek philosophy. We can thank them for our number system which is Arabic otherwise maths would be very difficult using Roman numerals. After the inquisitions the Imams took advantage of the situation and pushed the Arabs to study Islam thereby solidifying their influence in the Middle East. Something the Catholic church failed to do in Europe where education flourished. That may be part of the reason why the Muslim world is stuck in the past.
