Terrorist attacks in Brussels

Nice story.
Amazing how modern-day missionaries, even to dangerous places, don't surround themselves with armed bodyguards.

perhaps that's because the "dangerous places" of today aren't nearly as dangerous? that advances in transportation technology make it much easier to "get the hell out of Dodge" should the need to do so arise?

Then again, they don't come from countries where the Inquisition runs the show, either. Or will you tell me that the Jews were run out of Spain, or forced to convert, without the heads of the State or the Church knowing of that, either?
Doesn't actually matter, come to think of it. Torquemada committed atrocities "in the name of God", along with other ordained clergy, who were just as much a religious authority as the imams you denounce.

In terms of modern values, yes they can be viewed as atrocities. Not quite so when compared to the legal system of the area and time. All courts in Europe used torture. The Spanish Inquisition applied torture in only two percent of its cases, and never longer than fifteen minutes. Most cases were acquitted or had sentencing suspended.
As for the Jews run out of Spain and "forced to convert", I'm not quite sure what you are referencing. The closest I can find about this is in regards to Jews who had found it expedient to "join" the Catholic church for socio-econo-political gain, only superficially, remaining at heart Jews, and in the eyes of the Church, heretics.
