There were many true Christians who were killed by the SS, many because they risked their lives to save Jews. However, as a Christian, I want no fellowship with darkness, and there are photos (I can post them) of Catholic priests with the Nazis.

Dietrich Boenhoffer was shunned by most other Protestant pastors who wanted to compromise with Hitler.

My husband went to school with some engineering students from Germany who assured him that Nazism wasn't so bad and their parents were good Nazis and good Lutherans.

That's it?

That little hyperbolic tossoff rationalizes and justifies [In an otherwise quite noteworthy piece] Fallaci's casually included and obscenely Goebbelesque libel?

You judge it OK to libel Christians whose very Christianity, apparently, the G-d of your understanding has asked you to judge -- and you have judged "not worthy?"

No, I want to acknowledge that there are and have always been many Christians in name only who distort and pervert the Word. The churches are lukewarm for the most part, passive for the most part. Jesus said we would know them by their fruit. Why do we idolize the church "fathers" so much and the present church hierarchies, the businesses who call themselves churches, that we can't acknowledge how many hypocrites there are in the folds, TRAITORS with a form of godliness but denying the power thereof. Maybe Oriana Fallaci, like many people I know, has met too many CINOs and maybe not one CINO lifted a finger to help her father when he was tortured by Nazis. Today some of them (Catholics and Protestants) serve tea to terrorists and are anti-Semitic. Every person who calls themselves a Christian and uses the label to manipulate, abuse, spout anti-semitism or other prejudice, is dangerous. Accusing me of libeling Christians is typical, what about them?
