The author writes
:..."such as the Spanish Inquisition (Christianity) and, more recently, the fanatic Jewish settlers in Israel’s Occupied Territories whose religious claims to the land eschew the rights of others."
Wow, I never thought that I'd see the terms "Spanish Inquisition" and "Fanatic Jewish Settlers" in such close proximity in print, and the implication that there is some equivocation between them. At least without some sense that there is a substantial difference in scale and quality.
