What's next, an inquisition, witch trials?

@jd-vance-1.bsky.social How is #American #Crusade different than #Islamic #Jihad? Please remind me of the difference again? Is there a footnote in the #Nationalist translation version of The #Holy #Bible #commandment to not kill that says except #Muslims?
