Human beings have always fought each other for their beliefs. Every group of people has been tortured, killed, or held captive simply because of their faith. It's silly and, in a strange way, egotistical, for people to walk around saying that their people were killed more than somebody elses people. This entire thread is silly in that respect.

I agree with the posters who believe that there's bias when it comes to religious persecution. After 9 years of taking History in public schools, I've never heard anything about Christians being slaughtered for their faith. I'm not sure whether I feel differently about my people being killed than I feel about my Jewish friend's people being killed. One death by religious persecution is just as horrible as another.

My heart goes out to all who are victims of religious persecution. I wish against Fate that it would stop, but human nature often gets in the way of such wishful dreaming.

God Bless!

30 years ago, I didn't hear a word about it either. I'm waiting for the first Hollywood film on the persecution of Christians in the Soviet Block. The audience for such a production is huge.
