Of course not. I fail to see how you can read that from my post. I applaud the confiscation of Church property that happened during the Reformation. It was long overdue. And I can't find a principled reason for why it should be OK to confiscate European churches but not OK to confiscate Turkish churches. But nowhere have I said anything about hanging priests. That simply does not follow. I also applaud the French Revolution - doesn't follow from that that I defend Robespierre.
