Killed for being a Christian.

</p>

Why is that news?</p>

 

Surprising really, when one considers the killing of 30,000 Christians in Northern Nigeria in 1966 hardly merited any publicity, athough this evenually led to the succession of the eastern Region and the subsequent Biafra/Nigeria war, in which Harrold Wilson's Labour Government, shamefully, supported the Islamic Nigierian administration, who had been the cause of the problem.

 

Christians used to kill each other in N. Ireland.

Religion isn't the problem, it's the lunatics that hi-jack it.

 

Not sure

Christians killed millions of Jews during the war based purely on their religion yet nobody remembers it as something that fundamentally done by christians, instead they choose to remember it as something done by Hitler.

when it comes to something done by muslims then it is regarded as a crime by muslims, not by the individuals.

 

LOL

</p>

You do that suspiciously well.</p>

 

Hmm, not sure I'd call the hatred of Jews a religious prejudice. nt

 

What was it then? Wasn't it Hitler's Christian beliefs that led to him hating Jews and choosing to murder them?

 

I think it was race and culture. nt

 

I thought that you have previously stated that we shouldn't confuse race with religion. If it was specifically people that follow Judaism that he chose to kill then it was a religious hatred rather than a racial one wasnt it?

 

Hitler was stark staring bonkers. The Jews were an easy expedient target to focus attention on as a sole cause of Germany's financial and social problems at the time. Ally that to a massive increase in spending on the military and he gave Germany a 'purpose'. Jews were and still are, an easy target.

 

I don't know if they're that easy a target

They seem to blend in these days. You could try shooting all those with a big nose but you couldn't be certain they were a jew.

good heavens
