Look up what happened to the Huegonots in France. Over 10,000
slaughtered
in
one day. Nearest Arab was 1000 miles away.

Like I need another reason to hate the French...

Actually, NOYB, you would have approved at the time. The Huegonots were
protestants, (radical liberals), and the French ruling class was catholic,
(old
line conservatives).


As convenient as it would be to just kill all the liberals, I'd be against
it. I think education is the key. The more you learn, and the smarter you
become, the less likely you are to believe the liberal mantra.



Catherine de Medici was one of the most powerful women in the history of
the
middle ages. Two or three of her sons became King of France in their day.
At
different periods in her life she was achnowledged as the actual power
behind
the French throne.

de Medici pretended to pursue peace with the protestants. In fact, she
offered
the hand of her daughter to one of the Huegonot leaders, Henry of Navarre.
She invited all the huegonots to come to town to celebrate the wedding,
and
when they were assembled, (unarmed), she ordered them killed.

Nice gal, that.

I wonder if that's how those 40 Muslims were killed in western Iraq the
other day?
