Well, one could argue that it’s the Reformation that’s going on right now. And considering the Reformation was bit more bloody than the image of an overweight monk hammering up a poster on a church door, that’s not necessarily good news. Many people in the West seem to have an overly romantic view of the Reformation.

There are at least some interesting parallells to draw between the Anabaptists in Mnster and certain Islamist groups.

I quite agree. The Reformation led to horrific infighting, parallel to much of what we’re seeing now, and a passion for controlling the faithful, punishing the heretic, and living in increasingly pure and psychotic little groups. Sound familiar?

But the ENLIGHTENMENT, people. The ENLIGHTENMENT.
