If you contend that the Holocaust was carried out by pagans, was the Inquisition also carried out by pagans, the Crusades ?

I appreciate your interest in accuracy. The inquisition was carried out by some Spanish Jesuits. If the Jesuits were circumcised, we cannot say they were Jews. (If a Nazi or two was baptized, we cannot say they were Christians.)The Jesuits were not bent on the destruction of Christianity. (Hitler was bent on the destruction of Christianity.) The Jesuits may have been born pagan but were acting as Jesuits. (Hitler may have been born into a "Christian" family but was acting as a pagan.)

This really isn't hard to understand.

No, I think your emotions are getting the better of you and you are jumping to conclusions that I am not proposing.

Your implications were clear. Perhaps you could explain the purpose of your questions if they were innocent?

I would like the context of the ADL's criticisms of the movie to be seen in the context of the systematic persecution for almost 17 centuries by people who thought of themselves as christian. The fears of the ADL are grounded in historical facts. They arise out of a paranoid, but real, threat to Jewish existence.
