Quote: JerryChicken "Of course it will happen again, its happened at least twice since in Bosnia (involving muslims) and in Rwanda (tribal) and the seeds of all political divide and rule have been very evident in the UK over the past five years with government ministers justifying their policies by segregating sections of society to pillorise and blame, and it works.'"
Exactly my sentiment when listening to R4 yesterday. There was a statement about them being worried because a percentage of young people didn't know much about the Holocaust, my thought was immediately that a lot more people would know even less about Bosnia which would have happened in their lifetime. I realise it is a different scale, but with it being more recent and televised one would have thought that it would be easier to learn about.
It did get me thinking about some of the worst atrocities undertaken by man in the name of religion and came to the conclusion that most of the deaths in modern history were probably in the name of Christianity. So much for the terror that is Jihad!
Some of the stories on R4 yesterday were harrowing. I thought the story about Anne Frank's diary was interesting, plus the chap that cut the skin off his arm to hide his concentration camp number due to shame.
