I have no religious ties. (Not attacking the religious here, just expressing my views) I actually get along quite well with people of any religious views as I greatly respect their passion. As the Romans said, Credo quea impossible. I believe because it's impossible, that I can respect.

I was frightened by this persons post because Crayola level logic points out the problem. Presumably as the poster is a Christian he believes the holocaust was a tragic event as it involved the persecution and genocide of innocent civilians based largely on race, but also on political ties, sexual orientation,and diseases of the skin. Said poster then goes on to say that Muslims should be wiped out. How is this proposed genocide any different than the ones undertaken previously in history?
