Your qualm is possibly justified, but your leave me in a quandry when you do not offer to us, what you think was the Inquisition. Scholars and historians today, have used the label "Inquisition" to cover the varied atrocities in Goa. If you think they are wrong, please tell me why and which atrocities should be covered under the label "Inquisition" With best regards, Tariq __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
