Still Hating America.

Highly doubtful, as Malkin is a avid supporter of Israel.

Unlike, say, John Edwards.

I was asking about the Malkins. After all, they're just Jews.

When the Islamists come knocking on your door for jizya, I sincerely hope that etymological distinction keeps you warm and fuzzy.

I don't really expect they'll ever come knocking on my door. But then, I'm not a panic-stricken, bloodthirsty lunatic looking for a scapegoat.

Actually, that's just Adder being a jackass. I'm pretty sure that you, Hank, and Diane Keaton are the only ones around here seriously suggesting that it's okay for people to kill other people simply because of their political, ethnic, or religious beliefs.

I wasn't really thinking of just the Nazi party. I was largely condemning almost the entirety of the populations of the world who stood by and let the Nazis slaughter 6 million Jews because, well, after all they were just Jews.

didn't the bulk of that happen DURING the war? I do appreciate your point that you support invading Iraq to prevent sadamm from killing more of his people though. Interesting argument.

Do you think it was a mistake not to invade China in the early 1970s to stop the Cultural Revolution?

Are you saying that it is OK that Malkin had to move because of death threats? When the Dixie Chicks receive death threats its the end of the world, and free speech and our Constitution are under threat, but when Michelle Malkin or Dinesh D'Souza receive death threats, it is nothing to worry about.

I don't recall you or Slave being particularly upset about death threats to the Dixie Chicks. Did I miss something?

You do have that going for you. That's kinda nice.

Really? "Death" or "Forced Conversion"?

In the US, I was thinking more of the types who seek to impose their preferred (Christian religious-based) code of conduct on others on pain of death. Same sort of thing.

Eric Rudolph.
The clinic bombers.
The sniper who shot doctors in upstate New York.

There is an entire semi-underground violent radical Christian subculture fighting against abortion. (The violence comes and goes.)

Then you have the radical groups which combine ethnic/racial hatred with some sort of pseudo-Christian variant theology. For example -- "The Covenant, Sword and the Arm of the Lord." There are elements of this in the White Aryan Resistance as well.

And, of course, as I think others have already said -- from its orgins, Fascism as a political philosophy (originating in Europe) incorporated a militant pseudo-Christianity.

P.S. There really can't be any dispute about this, Slave. That doesn't mean the chick was right to call the Catholics/anti-abortion folks by that name -- but the overuse/misuse of that term is no more or less offensive than the overuse or misuse of "Islamofascist."

Please cite to where I say any person should die b/c of their political or religious beliefs. By the way, what's an "ethnic belief"? (God, you are so retarded!)

I think the # of Muslims out to wipe out Jews and harboring other evil thoughts is higher than the number of Muslims you think fall into that category. And that the numbers of Muslims decrying jihad should be higher than it is. And I've also posted lots of pics of Arabs kissing camels. In your tiny mind, that means DK wants "ethnic belief" people to die. You are a disgrace to your tribe and by far the most annoying person on this board.

Have a nice day.

Why? Did they revolt a lot?

Yes -- against all outsiders -- Ottomans, Russians, etc. For centuries.

Had that been presented as the argument, I would have been far more supportive of the effort. On the other hand, I would also have looked at the overall political climate and weighed direct action against the likelihood of getting caught in a sinkhole we will never get out of.

Before you ask, I would be far more likely to favor invading Sudan to prevent further slaughter in Darufr.

The deportations to the camps started in the mid-30's, before most of Europe had entered the war and long before we did. What's more, it is clear that the governments of those nations were aware it was happening.

Thanks. I like to think it's a plus.

It's good to see someone talking about Cossacks and Ottomans today.

I was also thinking about how it's really not quite right to think of the Ottomans as a "Turkish" empire (Attaturk certainly didn't think they were); while Ottoman family itself was Turkish, and the very early Ottoman state was overwhelmingly Turkish, the bureaucracy was deliberately mutli-ethnic, with each different power center (Islamic hierarchy, local governors, council members, military, harem) traditionally drawing from different groups.
