Subject: RE: Obit: More Muslim intolerence?
Your bald assertion, Ooh-Aah2, in response to my post, does look rather more prejudiced than most of your material above, unless you have support materials that I have not seen (or perhpas noticed, I read the thread in rather a rush this morning).

"it was Christians who committed the first, recorded, act of genocide" - please be precise. The assertion seems surprising as put since we know for example that Neanderthal man is extinct.

Giok, subservience to law can be wrong. cf. Oliver Cromwell, Nazi Germany, South Africa, Margaret Thatcher, the Shrub. I omit Ireland, others may wish to add it. The morality or otherwise of resistance to unjust law makes the difference. The problem becomes intractable when differing groups have differing ideas about what is right or wrong. Democracy can become the dictatorship of the majority. The majority is not necessarily always correct.
