I don't think the point was to compare/contrast Christianity with Islam, it was that the Inquisitions did stop.
It's incredibly easy to look at another religion or another culture or another country and judge how terrible or immoral or inferior or stupid they are in contrast with our religion or culture or country.
But would I be any different if I'd been born into that situation? Look at the video of the rocket being launched with the children. Are they human shields? Looks more like they being trained into the same patterns of hate and violence by their parents and community.
If I'm raised to think a religion justifies an Inquisition or taking slaves or genocide or misogyny or whatever, then more often than not that's what I'll think and act on. If I don't most likely it's because I've been given an alternative view.
