I notice you did not include the damage done in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in your post....

I'm not adverse to acknowledging those events. I think geode and I were talking specifically about the legal restrictions in Europe of denying the Holocaust. The Holocaust [with a capital H] refers strictly to the genocidal events conducted by the Nazis. Hiroshima and Nagasaki are holocaust [with a small h] events. Crispy critters.

You can find similar confusion with the word Communism [with a capital C] and the word communism [with a small c]. Two different things.

P.S. Interestingly, while I was living in England, their history of WWII says that it was the Brits that first broke the unwritten rule of targeting civilian populations. The Germans followed/retaliated in kind and it was all downhill from there. The Muslims are small potatoes when compared to the Christians bombing civilians. Muslims do a car bomb. Christians drop a nuke or firebomb entire cities, Berlin, Tokyo, Dresden.... We Christians know how to do it right.
