Fundamentalists (of all stripes) at it again (Re: Textbook Wars: Religion in History)

Not saying you are definately wrong Rand, but am definately saying your's is NOT the only version of the situation in Sudan.http://users.erols.com/mwhite28/warstat2.htm
TOTAL deaths over 20+ years possibly adds up to 2m, NOT just Xian.http://www.geocities.com/dtmcbride/hist/disasters-war.htmlhttp://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/su.html
Sudan population - 40m
Xian - 5% (hint hint 2m)http://usa.mediamonitors.net/content/view/full/601

Stats is stats...mine, yours, ours.All I said was that your's is NOT the only version of the story.Please show how the numbers listed in my links are wrong and yours are correct. Wow, so anyone who doesn't automatically believe one interpretation of the numbers is compared to a holocaust denier? You are assuming your version is correct.I'm sure there are folks out there, like the boy who cried wolf, that try to deny the reports....

That 1.9m is the high number I've seen, and there is nothing that differentiates between who was killed. Your guess that the vast majority of those deaths are xian is just that...your guess.Its a war Rand, both sides die. It is a war based on politics and autonomy, just because part of one side is xian doesn't make the war a religious war. Unless you have some official numbers then both our links are nothing but empty numbers.Sudan Civil WarInteresting history of the wars in the Sudan.

Except rand, you only seem to care because you think it is xians getting killed.If it was all islamic you wouldn't be so worried about the death toll.You seem to think that since we don't buy your xian persicution paranoia that no one cares about the deaths in the Sudan. You are wrong, we just don't care about the only reason you seem to.AbE.Error Page - Santa Clara University This message has been edited by Asgara, 01-26-2006 11:42 PM

The hatred isn't of Christianity per se...it is of a particular brand of Christianity that thinks they are better than everyone else, have the only truth, and wish to force that view on others.Disbelief isn't hate, disagreement isn't hate, questioning isn't hate...though things take a turn for the worse every time they are label as hate.This message has been edited by Asgara, 01-26-2006 11:46 PM

I believe the search isn't for any secular lobbying group per se. Percy seems to be looking for a group that bypasses the regular science channels and goes directly to school boards and textbook publishers to push their view point.
