Religion is what religionists do.<br /><br />Here's racist commands to Christians. (This one is notorious; hard to believe you don't know about it, you being an expert theologian and all.)<br /><br />Section XI of the treatise advises Christians to carry out seven remedial actions. These are<br /><br /> to burn down Jewish synagogues and schools and warn people against them;<br /> to refuse to let Jews own houses among Christians;<br /> for Jewish religious writings to be taken away;<br /> for rabbis to be forbidden to preach;<br /> to offer no protection to Jews on highways;<br /> for usury to be prohibited and for all silver and gold to be removed, put aside for safekeeping, and given back to Jews who truly convert; and<br /> to give young, strong Jews flail, axe, spade, and spindle, and let them earn their bread in the sweat of their brows.<br /><br /><br />Harry Eagarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04196202758858876402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6666208467022745303.post-86538430800969261862017-06-27T05:20:17.977-07:002017-06-27T05:20:17.977-07:00Oh, you mean you make a distinction concerning Chr...<i>Oh, you mean you make a distinction concerning Christians that you don't allow for Muslims?</i><br /><br />Considering how uniformly I distinguish between Islam and Muslims, either your reading comprehension is pathetic, or you are once again lying.<br /><br />You can't find racist impulses in Christianity, and you can't find anywhere that I haven't distinguished between muslims and Islam.<br /><br />That's a great track record, Harry.
