Ho hum Islam. This forum really is for the unthnking and unquestioning. Granted, Islam did have some achievements, but generally it is an intolorant and ignorant tyranny imposed on the Middle East by the sword. It appeals to those who like the idea of lobbing people's arms and heads and who like to stone women to death, but for the most of Christendom, Islam is repellant. The misunderstood Crusades were an attempt to correct this aberation, but the ferocity and savagery of Islam was too much for us.

As for the protestants being responsible for witch hunts, this was true, but this was a superstitious left over from Cathothilism.
