Catholics have owned up to the atrocities committed in the name of their Faith and apologized where necessary. Would that other groups were as forthcoming and penitent.

I'm sure Jews wouldn't mind owning up to it if it wasn't such an anti-semetic piece of crap history.

It's attested to by numerous contemporary historians and was apparently a source of great outrage in the early 6th century. The only thing at issue is the number of Christians Dhu Nuwas actually killed. Estimates have ranged from as low as 300 up to 20,000.

Just because you recognize that a Jew may have done a bad thing in history, doesn't make you an anti-semite. I'm a Judeophile. However, I will not close my eyes to atrocities committed by groups that I admire.
