Does Pope Francis have a fantasy-prone personality disorder?

[Jehanne]

First of all, there was no "law of the times", as there was no worldwide body to enforce such "a law".

No, there wasn't. But it points to your talking out of your ass instead of using science you claim to be so fond of. It was what everybody did. Hence, law of the land. Accepted by everyone to be the law of the land.

Are you quite capable of accepting that people actually having some expertise in a field to know a bit more than you? Probably not, going by what you drag kicking and screaming into this thread to make a point. Well, point not made, as far as science is concerned.

Well, feel free to disagree.  With individuals, such as Pope Francis' reading of the historical documents, it is easy to understand why people, such as William Craig, can label the Gospels are being "ancient biographies".

You can characterize the Battle of Tours, where two armies comprising tens of thousands of men, faced-off over the course of a week as being simply a "raiding expedition" on the part of one against the other, but such "reasoning", to me at least, defies all logic and common sense.  I see the Battle of Tours as being a conquest, in the name of Islam, to extend Muslim rule into Europe, the same goal being successfully employed at Constantinople 700 years later, and, as you yourself admit, being checked at Vienna just under a century after the fall of Constantinople.

You claim that the Muslims were "tolerant", and to an extent, they were, once they were in complete control, but non-Muslims were always treated as being second-class citizens, and were basically a step above slaves, there to serve their Muslims masters.  And, they were constantly being harassed and intimated into converting to the "true" religion, Islam.  And, Muslims had no problems destroying Christian churches and/or kidnapping Christian children, carting the latter off to Islamic lands to be raised in the "true" religion.

Islam is not a religion of peace; ISIS is correct in that regard.  Now, if moderate and/or liberal Muslims wish to rewrite history (as Catholics have) and read verses into the Quran that are not there and ignore verses that are there, go right ahead.  I don't care.  In the end, though, I will still believe that the North won the Civil War.
