Video of mob burning teen alive in Guatemala spurs outrage

Your numbers are off. Mao and Stalin achieved a much higher body count than Hitler.

1 MAO ZEDONG

China (1949-76) Regime Communist Victims 60 million

China’s so-called ‘Great Helmsman’ was in fact the greatest mass murderer in history. Most of his victims were his fellow Chinese, murdered as ‘landlords’ after the communist takeover, starved in his misnamed ‘Great Leap Forward’ of 1958-61, or killed and tortured in labour camps in the Cultural Revolution of the Sixties. Mao’s rule, with its economic mismanagement and continual political upheavals, also spelled poverty for most of China’s untold millions. The country embraced capitalism long after his death.

2 JOSEPH STALIN

Soviet Union (1929-53) Regime Communist Victims 40 million

Lenin’s paranoid successor was the runner-up to Mao in the mass-murder stakes. Stalin imposed a deliberate famine on Ukraine, killed millions of the wealthier peasants – or ‘kulaks’ – as he forced them off their land, and purged his own party, shooting thousands and sending millions more to work as slaves and perish in the Gulag.

3 ADOLF HITLER

Germany (1933-45) Regime Nazi dictatorship Victims 30 million

The horror of Adolf Hitler’s dictatorship lies in the uniqueness of his most notorious crime, the Holocaust, which stands alone in the annals of inhuman cruelty. It was carried out under the cover of World War II, a conflict Hitler pursued with the goal of obtaining ‘Lebensraum’. The war ended up costing millions of lives, leaving Europe devastated and his Third Reich in ruins.

If we are going to assign numbers by religion then do Christians get to claim Norman Borlaug? He is credited with saving a billion lives in Mexico, India, Pakistan, and later in Africa and China..

maybe kind of like carbon offsets?

I would not watch that sort of thing. It's quite sick to post it and not much better to watch it.

But perfectly OK to use for a personal agenda right off the bat

I'm not assigning body counts to religion. Where did you get that idea?

That was actually to Sara not to you... sorry.

What's funny about this, is myself and MBD was highlighting how this happens in various threads, yet no one calls it out.

Edit: I forgot. The folks who have an issue with Muslims can do this all the time. But calling it out, that will fall on the folks who make fun of it...

You can't call it out if you are doing the same thing. And when "they" do it they are called out on it every time - the memes from the responses are probably 30% of this sites bandwidth (please geeks, I know it is actually just pulling from various other sources - not important) - the left are not exactly in the minority for posting here.

Some 11,000,000 Muslims have been violently killed since 1948, of which 35,000, or 0.3 percent, died during the sixty years of fighting Israel, or just 1 out of every 315 Muslim fatalities. In contrast, over 90 percent of the 11 million who perished were killed by fellow Muslims.

What are we doing? Driving a point home that Muslims aren't the violent psychopaths people here portrays us to be? I'll be the first to admit that I'm usually the one pointing out the lack of empathy when something like this happens. I just find it strange that when blacks and Muslims get the blame for whatever is going on, even if they have nothing to do with it, these comments usually don't get posted.

Your doing the exact same thing that you are complaining that others do - either don't do it or don't complain when others do it, take your pick.

I think you've been misreading the initial few posts. My tongue-in-cheek font must be broken.

Why do I have to pick? How about not doing it and complaining when others do?

Nah, it's common place here. Unless someone does it first, you can't call it out.

Who are you and what have you done with the real Boiler? .. and wheres the dog avatar?

I tried to get him to put it back but he won't listen to me.

You have tounge-in-cheek confused with mocking-the-other-side

Let me just say that it's not me that's confused.

There are psychopaths a lot closer to home that I am naturally a lot more worried about than people that are thousands of miles away.
