[QUOTE="Jones, post: 144697, member: 4805"] Mac, Here's a few more quotes along the same lines: [I]"Kill them all. God will select those who should go to heaven and those who should go to hell." — Abbot Arnold de Citeaux, 1205 (during the Fourth Crusade) "Kill them all, for God knows His own." — Pope Innocent III, to his troops in the Albigensian Crusade of 1209 [/I]Ironic that his name was "Innocent", no? And it was quite an effective strategy too, wasn't it? Who ended up winning those crusades anyway?:wink: It's interesting how easily people display these kinds of attidudes when the "mistakes" (torture is a mistake?) happen to someone else, especially if they belong to a group that the majority has managed to dehumanize (he was just a muslim anyway, right?). If, in the wake of bombing of the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_P._Murrah_Federal_Building"]Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building[/URL],the federal governement had starting profiling [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_McVeigh"]young white men with military experience[/URL] and shipping them off to Syria to be tortured because there were some "red flags" (better safe than sorry!), I suspect you might hear a little more opposition from certain members of the Brown Cafe :cool:.
