This whole line of conversation started in response to Gustave's assertion that " But all Adolph Hitler wanted to do was to turn Europe into another Bible Belt. " He meant a European version, and not an exact replica. I don't think a single post in the who conversation assumed an exact replica so I don't understand the relevance of or purpose of your most recent comment. The characteristics of the situations would obviously be different. My point is that the basic nature of the two situations is also different. They are similar in that there was widespread bigotry in both situations, but bigotry has historically not been rare. The existence of such bigotry isn't enough to consider the situations essentially similar. Adolph Hitler wanted to and did create a program of genocide against Jews and a few other categories of people that he considered undesirable. There was at no point in its history a program of genocide in the Bible Belt. Tim
