Pius also launched the final crusade against Muslims, sending a Christian naval armada to slaughter thousands in the Battle of Lepanto in 1571. And, he intensified the Roman Inquisition, torturing and burning Catholics whose beliefs varied from official dogma. After his death,...

Leaving Islam: Apostates Speak Out
ISBN: 9781591020684 / Angielski / Twarda / 474 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

By contrast, in Islam apostasy is still viewed as an almost unthinkable act, and in orthodox circles it is considered a crime punishable by death. Renowned scholar of Islamic Studies Bernard Lewis described the seriousness of leaving the...
