That being said, the biggest bigots and hypocrites in this thread are those people busting an NarbeZ for having an opinion or view opposite of their own. Remember, NarbeZ view is the one held by the large majority of this part of the world over the past 100 years, and likely still the view held by most cultures world wide on the subject. A whole bunch of you guys sound like a bunch of crazed Catholics (*GASP*) trying to force other people to think like you do and have the same opinions.
Some of you guys are acting like he proposed a mass genocide or something.

And it clearly is not the dominant view now.
You could very easily make a case that black segregation and persecution in the southern US is a dominant view of the past 100 years as well. Are you going to claim that someone holding those views is right? or they should be allowed to continue with their practices which restrict the rights of others? Should anyone who disagreed with you just hold their tongue and let these things slide?
Interesting you should bring up a genocide reference though, because standing up for the rights of other people is what this thread is about. People are ragging on him because his views are very similar to those held by some of the worst offenders in history...
