Would you agree with the statement "Christianity was evil" in the year 1600?

I'm willing to consider the thought in its proper historical context and framework.

I find it strange the same people complaining the FBI is corrupt and evil are the same people bashing Muslims for not wanting to talk to the FBI.

I think it is inaccurate to call that ideology “Islam”. Clearly it is related to Islam and is “Islamic”, in the same way that repressive religious fundamentalism in Europe during the Middle ages was related to Christianity (were “Christian”). I also don’t think it would have been accurate to say “Christianity is evil” back then, though non-Christians who were persecuted by Christians may have felt differently.

I’m not saying elements of these religions shouldn’t be criticized. Or that certain practices or laws based on common interpretations of the religion shouldn’t be judged to be evil (such as repression of various minority groups). I just don’t find it constructive to say “Islam” (or, for that matter, “Christianity” or “Judaism”) is evil. Instead of constructively criticizing certain practices, it effectively alienates anyone who self identifies as a Muslim. Totally counter-productive.
