Ok; I get it. You're n ot going to commit yourself one way or the other.


I am not going to be blind sided worrying about a religion that is not blowing up my people...

I do not feel threatened by it because I don’t think that they will be attempting to convert by the sword.
 

The gruesome be headings of some 40 Ute corpses in 1850, heads stacked in boxes,
and hung by their long hair from the eves of buildings at Fort Utah,
 has long been ignored, “You didn’t see the Indians beheading the Mormons.”
 
-- Historian Robert Carter

162 years ago there were lots of killings, scalp taking, and horrific mutilation by all sides during the Indian wars. After the battle of the Little Bighorn, squaws emasculated members of the 7th cavalry, along with removing heads hands & feet.

And that was ONLY 132 years ago.

Other examples are legion! As an old west buff, I see your example as common throughout the wild territories into the 1890s at wounded knee
