Cultural Eradication Quotes
Over the years Sherman’s advocacy of Indian extermination went beyond the Sioux to all Indians.
This statement caused great consternation. NcNutt did try to explain that he was speaking personally and not for the Government, but there was a small proportion of America who had concluded that all Japanese should be killed. Such an concept which was unthinkable 5 years earlier was considered as a result of several factors: The Japanese had murdered many American prisoners of war. Killed millions of civilians throughout Asia including doing medical and weapons experiments on live human beings. They had practiced torture, compulsory prostitution and mass rape of conquered territories. At the same time, the Germans had tried to exterminate all the Jews and, with some Japanese help, did kill two-thirds. The concept of genocide had been introduced to Americans as the concentration camps were liberated. And American casualties in the Pacific had been heavy. Vengeance was desired by many. Fortunately, the overwhelming majority of Americans never considered genocide seriously.
The Tanguts were a major Chinese Buddhist culture and people with generations of history, emperors, books and religion. The Mongols had been fighting them for over 20 years. After his death, his army obeyed the order and not only murdered every Tangit they could in the capital city in Western Xia, but razed their buildings, burned their books, destroyed their tombs and artifacts. Tanguts who were in other parts of Western Xia were absorbed and assimilated into the Mongol culture. Even the Tangut language died out in a few generations. The Tanguts had been made to “vanish”.
He was one or the few Turkish Senior officials who would testify about the Armenian genocide. The Christian Armenians, a minority in Turkey and its lands, were discriminated against like other non Muslim minorities in the Ottoman Empire. But during the Turkish War with Russia and WWI, some Armenians defected and served on the Russian side. Many Turkish citizens took revenge on Armenians by means of murder and torture. Soon, the extermination of the Armenians became the official “Young Turk” government policy. Hundreds of thousands of Armenians were killed outright, and about an equal number were “deported” to special areas. Many died of malnutrition along the forced march of Ethnic Cleansing. Others were murdered as they were deported. No one knows exactly how many Armenians were killed with estimates ranging from ½ million to 4 million. This was the first genocide of the 20th century. Modern Turkish leaders however, are in denial about the Armenian deaths. They claim that there was a war and food was scarce; the only Armenians killed, the claimed were proven Russian agents. They further claim that the Armenian behavior was in large part responsible for the forced deportations because of their lack of patriotism and unwillingness to help the Turkish authorities identify the Russian agents. Most Turks today are unaware of the Armenian Genocide as nothing is taught about the massacres in schools or other institutions. It is against the law in Turkey to even have an intellectual study of the Turkish behavior towards the Armenians, much less publish anything about it.
“They” refers to the West. It is actually believed by many Arabs and Muslims throughout the West is deliberately causing Islamic deaths by deliberately spreading disease and resorts to these means because the West has not other way of controlling Islam. Arab oratory emphasis exaggeration and frequent repetition as persuasive techniques. Factual analysis and independence of thinking is not part of the tradition so Islamic leaders are often believed regardless of how absurd the accusation. AIDS which is plaguing the world, is thought to be, by many Arabs, an Israeli plot to weaken and destroy Islam. The supporting evidence is that the Israelis have a very sophisticated biomedicine capability. Israel itself has a very low rate of AIDS, and AIDS is spread by promiscuous sex. Everyone knows that Islam does not allow promiscuity so therefore AIDS in Islamic lands must be being spread by the Israelis. Ironically, Arab nations have a relatively low AIDS rate.
This editorial was written just after the Massacre of Wounded Knee. An irony is that this editor who called for the extermination of Native Americans was later the author of The Wizard of Oz.

See {624641} for Iranian confirmation of its discriminatory policy. The Iranian "justification for murdering Bahais is this: The Behai were originally Muslims and then they created an heretic form of Islam. Under Islamic Law (Sharia), any Muslim who converts away from Islam to ANY other religioun must be out to death. As barbarous as this sounds, the irrational thinking is the same as that of the Catholic Church when Protestant chiurches emerged. All of them were to be put to death. However that was over 600 years ago, and humanity has much imporoved standards today. But the Muslims are 700 years younnger than the Catholic Church and some point out that they are behaving the same way as the Catholics, brutal as it is, when the Church was at the same level of maturity as Islam is today.
