There was once a genocide in Armenia, and the TURKS committed it. ADL?

This story REALLY bothers me.

Millions of people died in 1915 in an Armenia ruled by the Turks....yet

ANDREW BOSTOM:

THE CAMPAIGN sponsored by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) to combat bigotry and celebrate diversity ("No Place for Hate") has sparked bitter resentment in Watertown, Mass., a Boston suburb whose 8,000 Armenian-Americans make up nearly 25 percent of the population. Local Armenians do not object to the initiative, rather to the group behind it, the ADL and its director, Abraham Foxman - whom they charge, correctly, with denying the ugly established legacy of the World War I era Armenian genocide.

Under the authoritarian Young Turk (Ittihadist) regime, the bulk of the Armenian population from the territories of the Ottoman Empire - some 1 million to 1.5 million Armenians - were purged by violent and lethal means, which reproduced the historic conditions of a classic Islamic jihad: deportation, enslavement, forced conversion and massacre.

I'd like to hear an OTHER side to this one, which fails to admit and act when needed based on these facts. But the actions taken in this instance are REVOLTING

Mr. Foxman maintains that dismantling a program designed to fight hatred simply because the ADL does not share what he refers to as the "Armenians' viewpoint" would be "bigoted." Moreover, Foxman and the ADL, who have spoken out in recent times against ethnic cleansing of Muslims in the Balkans and the genocide against the syncretist black African Animist-Muslims in Darfur, are, in effect, oddly "neutral" on the Armenian genocide: "We're not party to this, and I don't understand why we need to be made party."

But even this morally challenged "neutrality" is disingenuous. According to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency ("Turks want genocide commission," April 23), Mr. Foxman and the ADL are lobbying against legislation recognizing the Armenian genocide in the U.S.

Who more than the ADL and the Jewish people are more ill fitted for such a hideous, unjustifiable, and indefensible thought, deed, and policy

  1. It isn't just Jews and Christians who are candidates for human sacrifice to Allah.

    No Kaffir, no matter how pacifist, is safe from this evil, violent, perverted, parasitic and predatory cult.

    Maybe the world's final interfaith conference will consist of Buddhists chanting 'Om Mani Padme Hum', Christians singing 'Kumbaya', and Muslims screaming 'Allah Akhbar' as they chop their heads off.

    Something drastic has got to be done to stop the inroads of these savages, but none of the Kaffir religions have got the intellectual or spiritual strength to do anything.

    Maybe we need a raging atheist like Stalin, who for all his faults knew how to deal with Muslims.
