As an American (and a person of Cherokee and Comanche heritage) I actually I think Tami has a point.  I believe that the US should officially recognize what happened to Natives as genocide, especially if we expect others to take the same stand against other atrocities.   (That said, I do believe it is a bit ridiculous to go back hundreds of years and apologize for the error of the ways of your forefathers.... and lets not forget that the Natives would have a lot of apologizing to do too!!!)

What I do not agree with is the distinction that is made of Christian vs. Muslim.  It does not matter what the religions involved are......genocide is genocide is genocide!

I also hope that Tami will now also denounce genocide as well.................ball is yours Tam´s! 

That´s exactly what I´ve been trying to tell Tami (but for the "As an American" part).  I personally feel it should be considered genocide full stop

As for why those countries recognised the Armenian genocide and not the Norther American one, i may only guess that The Tribunal´s decision was crucial - how to find a culprit with so many countries and religions involved? How to prove there was a plan of extermination? Who was behind it? What institutions? Let´s not forget that the idea of genocide was coined in the 20th century, roughly400 years after the discovery of America. Tami blames Christianity but it wasn´t a religious slaughter - it was the land and the resources that were of primary interest to Europe

You are almost becoming the kind of person that you criticize.

is it a coincidence that almost all of the countries who recognize the so called armenian genocide are christian countries and that none of these christian countries recognize the Native American Genocide?

is it a coincidence?

 Coincidence Tami, that you use the words ´so called´ when talking about the Armenian Genocide and not when talking about the Native American Genocide? Eh?

will you answer my question gg? I`m repeating it

is it a coincidence that almost all of the countries who recognize the so called armenian genocide are christian countries and that none of these christian countries recognize the Native American Genocide?

is it a coincidence?

yes I will call it a so called genocide untill the christians recognize the Turkish genocide. if there is an armenian genocide, there is a Turkish genocide too. and if you want to ignore one, I have a right to ignore the other one.

so will you answer my question. I asked a simple question and it seems that none of you can handle it. you want me to repeat the question one more time?

 You can´t read?  Your American education is failing you it seems.  I think your questions have been sufficently answered.  

I responded to you.  DD responded to you.  Trudy responded to you.  The problem is that you aren´t getting the answer YOU want.  What a tragedy. 

I´ve wasted enough time with you....once again you have bored me beyond words.   I hope one day you will come up with something new and intelligent to say and not just the same-old-same-old.  Until then...........ohhhhh dear, I feel another Tami-induced yawn coming on!
