[MD] So cometh MOQ, what next?

Ron,

Iroquois is a subset of American Indian. Hebrew is a subset of Semite, as is
Palestinian. Nobody says the Muslims are a race, or Christians, why do you
think Jews are a race?

 Ron,

I cannot convert to American Indian, but I can convert to Judaism. The
line is not blurred. The Jews are religious a group, not an ethnic or
racial group.

Micah
But Micah, do you see what you're saying? You could become part of the
Iroqoi if you wanted to, likewise with the jews, you would not share the
same ethnic roots with either, sure you would'nt be able to claim ethnic
rights of being native american but you could'nt claim ethnic rights of
being a semite either. Am I makin sense?

 Micah,
the distinction between "racial" and "ethnic" seems to be blurred, I
have not found where this is acuratly defined.
But the nazi's used to single them out by name and apearance, dare I go
down the list of racial slurrs?
No doubt Hitler used religeon but he used "racial superiority" to
support his endeavores too.

Ron,

"The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" by Shirer, chronicles Hitler's
use of religion in waging war and persecuting peoples. Yes, the Hebrews
are a racial group, but Jews are a religious group, not a race. By the
way Palestinians are Semites, does that make people like Sharon
anti-Semitic?

Micah,
 Hitler wrote: "I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will
of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am
fighting for the work of the Lord.." As a boy, Hitler attended to the
Catholic church and experienced the anti-Semitic attitude of his
culture. In his book, Mein Kampf, Hitler reveals himself as a fanatical
believer in God and country

I've already hit platt with this and he changed his opinion of it. By
the way Hebrews are a racial group too.

Platt,

The Jews are a religious group. The holocaust was the persecution of
Jews, therefore it was religious persecution. If the Jews were a race,
it would have been racism, but they are religious group and that makes
it religious persecution.

I don't consider the Holocaust motivated by religious belief. I agree
with Pirsig that it was caused by "low level static social and
biological patterns whose overall purpose was to retard the evolution of
truth and Dynamic Quality."
But
Hitler did say he was God's appointed savior of the German people. So in
that twisted sense, the Nazis cyncially used religious belief to gain
and hold power.
But you still haven't provided evidence to support your assertion that
religion is "the most destructive force in history." I'm not saying such
evidence doesn't exist, just that I haven't seen it.
