Muslims did not invent that either, Atlas. Xtians did. The suppression of heretics began virtually as soon as one group of xtians gained enough political power to get away with it.
Long before Jews and Christians and Muslims you had Terracotta Warriors, whom were trained to kill and show no mercy to enemies.
Point is Atlas, I don't attack any religion out of spite or revenge. Humans have always been tribal. Islam didn't invent brutality either. But until that part of the world faces it's own backwoods thinking, it will be stuck in the past.

Christians didn't invent human cruelty either Minn. They got their mythology from Hebrews, whom got their mythology from the Canaanites.
But in all of antiquity worldwide, most humans lived under local ruling families/tribes, and since the mortality rate was far higher back then, and considering nobody had our modern understanding of evolution, most humans were fierce in defending their local rulers.
