Perhaps you didn't read this So, instead of discussing, the Huguenots went to attack the Catholic majority who until then were content to let them live and debate and discuss and debate. Incidently, until this time the Huguenots were increasing, like the Moslems in Bradford, but then they started to get shrill and wake people up with their attacks --> so, the Huguenots started the war against their nation, traitors to their nation and also started attacks on their fellow citizens...

No, I did read what you said, just didn't bother to deconstruct that particular paragraph, begging as it is for some sort of rebuttal. The trouble with doing so is that one would need go fairly deep into 16th Century French history to do so, which would take some time to do.

With yourself having added the present Moslem portion, I found it a bit much. To much junk all smashed together --

The paragraph you think(?) I missed does nothing to dismiss what I've been saying here otherwise. If one cannot cope with it, or refuses to, then sorry charlie, I simply must focus on the core element, the real crux of the matter, rather than the "accidents" as to how it all came about, however fascinating and even helpful to understanding the larger setting such information may be, particularly when I suspect the information is being introduced as diversionary tactic.

I'd much rather focus on core elements. If we cannot find those upon which we may agree, then build upon, and go from there, then real communication will continue to be quite difficult.

You rephrased it;

so, the Huguenots started the war against their nation, traitors to their nation and also started attacks on their fellow citizens...

Started "attacks" on their fellow citizens? No, they did not, unless one is afraid of [certain specific portions of] an idea that what one has been taught to unquestioningly believe is an "attack".

Here, try this one for size;

"google books, available free online and as e-book download; "History of the rise of the Huguenots of France , Volume 1"
