Isn't it time we brought back the Spanish Inquisition?

The Dutch gave the world the word apartheid. The Spaniards, after a certain time, they just killed off all the natives they could find.

DC, you are a lying POS.  La Raza is closely linked to MeCHA, both of which are extremely racist groups.  Their only agenda is La Reconquista for the land they believe belongs to me.  They really think that the Southwest was stolen and needs to be taken back.  \n\nAt least if you are going to support it, have the balls to own up to what the organization truly is.  Poverty my culo!!!

Come live in England and we'll burn churches together. We can fund our cause by liberating all the gold the christians stole from our ancestors.

It depends, whether or not they are safe there. I don't think we should sacrifice our common history just to satisfy one people’s pride or greed.

I agree but the invaders here had to go on a long-ass ship ride, they deserved a break.  And honestly i am tired of hearing about that crap because it was a long time ago, those people then need to hear about it not the people today.\n\nMexicans are most definitly invading here and now!

This is wonderful, and we all should be working on the same.\n\nWe also should be contacting our faithless leaders in the ivory tower as often as possible to let them know how we feel about their betrayal of America and their loyalty to Mexico.

FYI, it wasn't called the "Holy Inquisition". It was the "Spanish Inquisition". \n\nThe Spanish Inquisition was a legally constituted court decreed by Sixtus IV's Papal Bull and implemented under Ferdinand and Isabella of Castile beginning in 1478. As Christian European monarchs regained control of Spain from Muslim rulers, the Christian Monarchy gradually imposed and enforced certain legal restrictions on non-Catholics. Spaniards who were not Catholics were not allowed into any of the major professions. Similarly, non-Catholics were forbidden from civil service by royal decree. Other legal and property rights depended on being baptized as did entrance into schools and general social standing.\n\nMany Muslims and Jews in Spain went along with the Crown in order to keep or get jobs, be considered part of Spanish society or simply to comply with the obvious wishes of the government. Many conversos were secular by upbringing and had little or no connection to their abandoned religions. But many who had converted during and after the massacres of 1391 did it simply to avoid death and had held onto what was, by 1478, more than a thousand years of Jewish culture and tradition in Spain.\n\nThe Crown and the Vatican were concerned with the idea of converts following non-Christian ways of life. There was also a realization in Spain and Rome that large amounts of wealth had been looted in 1468 and 1473 along with concern that those proceeds should have gone to the government and the Church. Certain behaviors (some actual religious practices - others created by the Inquisitors) were labeled by the Church as “Judaising” and were strictly prohibited under punishment of death. As of 1478, any convert suspected or accused (however haphazardly) of Judaising was tried and put through an “act of faith” (auto de fe), the result of which was always one form of horrible punishment or another. None of the accused was found innocent - the only two possible outcomes of the Church’s would-be trials were guilt by admission and guilt with denial, the latter being cause for Church and State sponsored execution. Certain Church historians have recently asserted that anti-Semitism was not one of the main motivators for Rome or Spain, pointing out that the Inquisition only targeted converted Jews accused of Judaising, not Jews who refused to convert. This argument seems less convincing in view of Ferdinand’s expulsion of the Jews (including and especially the ones who never converted) from the country of Spain in 1492. Any Jew who had not converted and did not leave Spain was thereafter legally executed by the Crown with the Pope’s knowledge and approval. Most historians[citation needed] would agree that practicing Jews had all left Spain by early August of 1492 and that those accused of heresy thereafter were people who a) had money and b) could be accused of having a Jewish or Muslim ancestor, whether it was true or not.\n\nThe Inquisition was removed during Napoleonic rule (1808–1812), but reinstituted when Ferdinand VII of Spain recovered the throne. It was officially ended on 15 July 1834. Schoolmaster Cayetano Ripoli, garroted to death in Valencia on July 26, 1826 (allegedly for teaching Deist principles), was the last person executed by the Spanish Inquisition.

No, they should not. It is ridiculous and would be meaningless. The whole campaign appears to be just a fop by a few ne`er do wells as a precursor to demands for `reparation`.\n To the merchants of Bristol, slaves were just a commodity same as any other. Sad I know, but to start demanding apologies from descendants of anyone involved in this trade, or anyone living anywhere that benefitted from this trade is ludicrous. It would involve half the planet.

yes, absolutely.  we should start with the europeans and work forward all the way to the recent mexican immigrants.  in the end, we'll have just the native americans left, and the tribes can roam the plains again freely.\n\nnow if only we could restore the herds of buffalo...

We have allowed too much evil to creep into our nation and have taken God out. I believe that there would be a huge turn around if we came together once again as a nation under God. We don't need to look very far for good men. When you know the man upstairs, you know that you're part of the best team/army ever.\n\nGod Bless America Again

No !\nIt is outdated and a waste of our public money now,\nAll they are now is a figure head of Britain without any powers they are a puppet monarchy.\nWe elect our own government without a say from the monarchy\nBut still our leaders out of respect have to ask the monarchy if it can dissolve Parliament. It is a Farce\nIn today's Britain we have enough people sponging off the state without a family that is so privileged that it doesn't know what it like to live month to month.\nIt is time that all this tradition is done away with once and for all.

You cannot stop the course of History. Sooner or later, Islam will rule the world. It is only a question of time. Panic, on account of this, is really unwarranted. Tolerance in Muslim Spain is a fact not a "mith", as you peculiarly put it

There was a time in European history where the Church held absolute sway in the appointment and endorsement of political rulers, as well as their own "police force" of inquisitors where free-thinkers and political opponents were burned, tortured, and murdered.  Wars were repeatedely fought against the Muslim in Muslim lands to distract and divide the folks at home and to keep the people militarized and the money flowing into the coffers of the tyrannical kings.  This period was affectionately known as "The Dark Ages" and "Medievel Age" appropriately.  Woe betide the man who willfully repeats disastrous history.

I would not, because in general I am against foreign wars.  Someone comes to attack us, of course we defend ourselves.  Otherwise, I prefer we stay out of trouble.\n\nBut what's Spain done lately?

yes we are still living in a savage time and the Palestine question becomes a part of what i would call a pain in the arse how can a people be pushed into area's outside places they have settled in 4.000 years ago it would be the same to say i came from France in 1066 to Britain.i am so sorry for the lives lost and the little children but it seems its time for people to start looking at people not as creed or colour but as a united race and i would love to see it before i die.xmole.uk.
