Who did Christians torture, try to exterminate and burn at the stake: Albigensians, Apostolici, Arians, Beguines, Bogomils, Beghards, Brethren of the Free Spirit, Cathars, Fraticelli, Gnostics, Hussites, Huguenots, Knights Templar, Lollards, Manichaeans, Moors, Waldensians, and "witches." They tortured and burned alive scientists, homosexuals, and philosophers. Protestants slaughtered Catholics; Catholics slaughtered Protestants. They all slaughtered Jews. There were four inquisitions lasting over 1,000 years, and ending just recently. Crusaders routinely slaughtered whole cities including old men, women, sick, poor, crippled and young children. Their clarion call was: "Kill them all, let God sort them out." Heretics were slowly, ruthlessly tortured for weeks on end in Medieval dungeons filled with real torture devices. They were forced to denounce as heretics all their own family members, all their friends and relatives, and everyone they loved. They had their tongues cut out, than were placed on a low temperature fire that caused a slow agonizing death.
