Do you think they actually believe that's an excuse for the actions of these Muslims we see plastered all over the news?? Were they just trying to make a point that all religions go through this learning curve?? I for one think its not even close to being a valid point when comparing the old ways to what is going on now. People can repeat history or learn from it and this day in age is a lot different than way back when or what some pervert does to kids in the Catholic Church.
Almost seems that they may excuse human slavery if we had it now like it was way back when if it was Muslim masters and such.
