i'm not saying that we bear guilt for witch burning. but we need to know that Christians who thought themselves loyal to God did that. we have, in our tradition, the seeds of things that are truely evil. knowing that they are there is the only way to avoid bringing such sins back.
where you see a fundamental essence of Islam that is amenable to radicalism, i don't. someone might have said the same of us. some still do. i just don't think the question is worth asking. are there people working to free their tradition, whatever it may be, from violence and injustice? Then i stand with them.
