Facts are hard to accept when they undermine a belief system based upon lies.

Fact: Croatian Catholic Fascists blessed by Stepinac along with the Muslim and Nazis units committed genocide against Serbian people.

The only question that remains is did Stepinac also bless the Croatian Muslims before they went into battle against the Christians. After all their benefactor Himmler, fascinated as he was with Islam, believed Croatians of all stripes were Aryans not Slavs.

You wrote: "Facts are hard to accept when they undermine a belief system based upon lies." You must be talking about yourself: 1) My belief system has no lies, and 2) I have no problem at all accepting facts. "Fact: Croatian Catholic Fascists blessed by Stepinac along with the Muslim and Nazis units committed genocide against Serbian people." I'm sure that some did. Stepinac would probably have blessed anyone who asked for that blessing. I wonder how many Serbs were blessed by Serbian priests and bishops and then murdered people in the 1940s and 1990s? Probably quite a few. "The only question that remains is did Stepinac also bless the Croatian Muslims before they went into battle against the Christians." Why is that even a question? Let's say he did. So what? Why shouldn't Stepinac bless those defending his homeland even if they weren't Christian? Maybe the real question should be: Why were the Croats so willing to trust Muslims over Serb Christians? "After all their benefactor Himmler, fascinated as he was with Islam, believed Croatians of all stripes were Aryans not Slavs." And there were Serbs who proclaims themselves Aryans too. The Serb bishop I mentioned earlier did so and even received a civilian medal from Hitler (for rebuilding a German cemetary). Aryan Serbs. Can you imagine? Apparently they did. The bishop I mentioned earlier wrote about the Serbs as “God’s children and people of Aryan race, who have been granted the honorable role of being the main pillar of Christianity in the world” (Velimirović 1939/2001, 40). He asserted that “we are Aryan by blood, Slavs by surname, Serbs by name, Christians in heart and spirit” (ibid.). Serbs were also said to be the guards at the gates of “Aryan Europe,” who protect its purity from “inferior tribes.” Aryan Serbs. Interesting.
