Dragging up the past again does nothing for the future unless you have learned from it.

[abuali89]

I am from Spain, and what you say is right. Nowdays there is freedom of religion, but the inquisition was one of the most barbaric institutions ever, and the same was done in Latin America, convert or die. Sad, but truth is truth, cristians have been butchers for centuries.

Maybe Detroit can learn a thing or to and rebuild it again...
