What made the Holocaust more horrifying is that

1. it was conducted by Germany, the land of Beethoven, of Kant, of Goethe - a highly civilized, highly advanced country. If THEY could descend to that level, ANY one of us could

2. it was automated slaughter, not Timur’s bloodlust nomad slaughter.

I am Jewish, and I had relatives (that I never knew, since I was born a decade and a half after WW2) murdered by Hitler and his followers; my wife’s uncle (who I knew) was a “guest” of Herr Hitler’s, and he lost his entire family. So I understand (from a secondary position) the horror. But no less is the horror of the Armenians, Cambodians, Ugandans, Kulaks, Chinese civilians, and the (Asian) Indians (among others) whose peoples went through something similar.

IMHO, what makes the Holocaust so horrifying is that it was done by a supposedly cultured and moral people, using industrial methods, within living memory. Also, 1/3 of the Jews worldwide were murdered in 6 years (mostly in the last 4) - it was so incredibly sudden and effective, as opposed to less than 1/3 of the Indians, over the course of centuries. But, truthfully, one is not more or less than the other.

What I want to know is why the Indian government isn’t constantly banging the table at the UN regarding the continued spread of Islamic hatred for and murders of others. It STILL affects India, as well as the rest of us. WHY ARE THEY SILENT??? Why not show and talk about what Islam is, so as to make a reformation more possible?
