I don't see any.

That's not quite true. I suspect you WON'T see any. There's a big difference, but I will try and explain anyway.

Have you read the Protocols? Admittedly, I have not - I have only read commentaries on them. From what I understand, they are a collection of amazing lies designed with one purpose - to foster hatred of the Jews. And they have been used by some to generate violence and murder. Something more than just "smearing".

Whatever Goldhagen's work is...whether parts are accurate or not...I seriously doubt that it's purpose is to create hatred towards Christians or the Church, or to inspire violence. Now, I haven't read his work so I can't say for sure. Moreover, since Christianity is the predominent faith in this country and throughout most of Europe, I seriousl doubt that violence will result from any reading of Goldhagen's books.

I guess my position is that you could have denounced his work (even though you haven't read it?) without the comparison to the Protocols (which you also haven't read?). It would have made more sense.
