Quoting Daydreamer:

I'd hate to see any more Serbs, Bosniaks, Russians or Afghans die



how about the Iraqis? Are they fine to be killed by the Poles?



Of course not! Where did you get that idea from? Was I to list all nationalities to avoid ambiguity? lol Ok, let me be more precise and rephrase

I'd hate to see ANY representatives of ANY nations die.

I hope that will leave you no doubt that I condemn killings rather that justify it.

Quoting zhang ziyi:

So, does it mean that Daydreamer is right and I'm wrong?
I'm trying to understand you. Please, help me.



In your minds you are both right of course lol

Actually killings in Chechnia continue until this day and calling Russia communistic now is an insult (Also, the world condemns Russian actions there) As for recognised non communistic, Christian genocide against non-Christian communities, I've already written about Milosevic and crimes of his regime (way after communism in Yugoslavia came down). What can be added is Rwanda and Catholic priests sentenced for assisting in genocide.

I can't understand the point of Tamidakkika and your posts - Tami insists that it's not fair to blame Turkey for Armenian genocide as it was before the Turkish Republic came into being. Yet, USSR is an example of a country in similar position and thus proves that accusations against Turks are not unique.

If we speak about far away past, nobody claims that America was peacefully taken over by Europeans, same goes for Australia. And the Church has apologised for their crimes against humanity many times. Yet, you can't see it So, sorry, but I can't see what great conspiracy the world hides again. Maybe it's the UFO that Tami gets his ideas from...

Quoting zhang ziyi:

Daydreamer, it is now high time for you to admit your mistake You can't carry on like this and soak with more errors trying to defend and cover your previous feral mistake.



I would gladly admit it if it weren't for the fact I see none Tami argued that Christian nation (in his understanding a Christian nation is a nation that has Christian majority) but for nazi Germany, was never recognised as perpetrator in case of genocide. It is not true as USSR actually was. Of course, they didn't commit the genocide because they were Christians (neither did Germans) - if you thought that's the point I was arguing then nope, it isn't. Religion was against communistic ideology, but it doesn't change the fact that majority of Russians have been, are and will be Orthodox I spent 28 years living next to them and have lots of friends there (plus my family has roots there) so it's not merely a fact I read on Wiki

Plus, besides USSR and contemporary Russia's violence against Chechnya, I gave examples of convicted criminals like Milosevic, Christian priest sentenced for Rwanda genocide and Church apologising for crimes in the past. Now, where is the mistake?
