Secret Files of the Inquisition

[Zainab_M]

Downfall and destruction comes with lack of knowledge, opening the paths to man-made religious extremism as well as man-made secular extremism.  It invariably gives rise to racism and traditional religious bigotry, shattering the peace and harmony of a society.  A vivid example of that is displayed in solid history - the days of the inquisition when the Catholic Church was the top lawmaker throughout Europe and unleashed a reign of terror that lasted for 800 years based on stark fundamentalism by altering the teachings of Prophet Essa (son of Virgin Maryam, peace on them both), the Messenger of Allah Almighty.

Secret Files of the Inquisition tells a story of epic proportions and powerful themes of Holy Wars and Crusades, of torture and terror (perpetrated by the Catholic Church) of the struggle for human rights across Europe that raged for over 600 years.
