Ron,

I understand your point, it's wrong.

Hitler's persecution of Jews and others was rooted in the German culture dating back to the First Reich, and beyond. But he specifically targeted the Jews.

You keep citing biblical passages, and if you believe in the Judeo/Christian god then I understand your confusion on this subject. Judaism would only be considered a race if you believe in god - I don't. Further, if they are the "Chosen People", what does that make the rest of us? So in a way you're right indirectly, because that is the beginning of racism. I won't defend that, you can.

If you remove god from your definition of race, then Judaism is not a race.

Look at Hitler and his brain trust and count the number of blonde, blue eyed men. You won't need any fingers for that count. I continue to recommend you read "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" by William Shirer, to help your understanding - which appears to be quite limited on this subject, at least that's what a friend of my bother's wife's sister's step-uncle's wife says.

Yes, we disagree. But we're gonna make it through.

Micah

 Micah,

Ethno-religious is the key word, Jews/Hebrews are both ethnic and religious, perhaps the only group considered that.
The mass exection of them was  considered a "genocide"The term "genocide"
was coined by Raphael Lemkin (1900–1959), a POLISH-JEWISH legal scholar, in 1943, from the roots genos (Greek for family, tribe or RACE) and -cide (Latin - occidere or cideo - to massacre).
 Jews (Hebrew: יְהוּדִים, Yehudim; Yiddish: ייִדן, Yidn) are followers of Judaism or, more generally, MEMBERS OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE (also known as the Jewish nation, or the Children of Israel), an ETHNO-RELIGIOUS group DESCENDED from the ancient Israelites AND from converts who joined their religion. The term also includes those who have undergone an officially recognized formal process of religious conversion to Judaism. The current Jewish population is over 14.5 million, the majority of whom live in the United States and Israel.
Answer this-	 why do they call Hebrews who convert to Christianity
Christian-Jews?, why not just christians?
Moses said "let my PEOPLE go" the egyptians enslaved another race not just another religeous group.
Hitler persicuted not only jews BUT ALL"INFERIOR" RACES as he saw them,the Arayan race was deemed  superior was it not? If you were not white,Blond and blue-eyed, your future was not very bright. "the final solution" included the retarded and mentally ill. A darwinistic society and that’s how it was presented, it was package and sold to the german public as cleaning up the gene pool and streamlining society.. oh, he had a religous grudge against the jews too, they killed jesus and held the monitary reigns on german christian society too.I really do not know how to present anymore information supporting my claim..I even called a friend of my wifes who is a jew and she said They do consider themselves an ethnic group.sooooo if anyone else out there can help me or give some input it would be much appreciated.
Other than that I really can'nt go any further on this subject, Micah. "You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink"
Unless of course you’re a nazi, then with the right "motivation" a funnel and some tie downs, you could probably make that sucker drink.

At the very least lets agree to disagree on this one...best wishes..
-Ron

Ron,

You did an example of the problem with confusing race and religion. You compared Jews and Arabs. It should be Jews and Muslims (or whatever) or Hebrews and Arabs. Jews are only a race if you believe in god.

Are Christians a race by your reasoning? Was Sammy Davis Jr. in the Ethno/religious definition of Jews as a race?

Actually my father-in-law is Jewish and I couldn't distinguish him ethnically from a Palestinian (the religious affiliation being unknown), because they're both Semites. I can't see faiths, like skin color.

Well, first off, they call the Holocost a "genocide"

The term "genocide" was coined by Raphael Lemkin (1900-1959), a Polish-Jewish legal scholar, in 1943, from the roots genos (Greek for family, tribe or race) and -cide (Latin - occidere or cideo - to massacre).
Religeon is also criteria in the definition, so I believe we are both correct to some degree, I was just asking you to consider That the holocost was not purely a religeous persicution. Hitler deemed them a lower form of human, a subspecies. This is terrible to say But if you lined up a group of semites, chances are you could separate the jews from the Arabs, and that's as far as I'll go on that one.

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?

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.
