The facts suggest that indeed the Greeks were far less brutal 2,500 years ago than other side-by-side societies and certainly the Greeks of 2,500 years ago were far more civilised than ISIS are today.
If you want to compare (in order to excuse) ISIS with some random brutal behaviour practiced 2,500 years ago, I'm sure there were plenty brutal groups (early Turkish-ancestors in Mongolia for example - even the Chinese wanted to keep them out). But to use the ancient Greeks as examples of brutal regimes is only to show your ignorance of the Classics.
Look hard into your psyche Lordo and finally grasp what you are saying - that the barbarity of ISIS compares to the worst of behaviour from the long-ago past, and that is fine? - then, you should feel shame and finally shut up (please).
Look to modern equivalents of ISIS's brutalities and the nearest you will find are their cousins the Turks!
Lordo is , in Miltiades words, a fucking idiot.
