You referred to them as "servants". >What was the US >stance on slavery though? The key word is "was". > Seems to me all men are created equal Back then, the key word was men, and they distinguished some folks as not being men. The incorrect has since been corrected. Have you ever been commanded by a superior ranking officer that was of another race in the service of your country? The US armed forces are quite racially diverse, and we purged racism from our ranks decades ago. > as long as >they are White Christians. You're an idiot. The US is the most diverse melting pot of race, religion, creed, and culture in the world.

In both religions, the extremist leaders cannot have their followers think for themselves; all critical thinking skills are dangerous to their grasp of power. The Muslims who fear this loss see Western civlization as the culprit (EMF media cannot be blocked out). Notice what has happened in Somalia recently. The residents in that area are now sorting out which culture will exist. The US' religious right has similar fears. Note their tactics. They chose a political tactic and targeted schools. It's blowing up in their faces in most areas (they're either getting fired or voted out). I don't know what these types in Europe are doing. I only get hints from Pope news. /BAH
