trackfan "We Are Not Afraid: The Story of Goodman, Schwerner, Chaney and the Civil Rights BlackHelicopterPilot, this picture illustrates what made MLK and Mandela great. Both of them were New Testament Christians. They truly believed in forgiveness and letting bygones be bygones, rather than settling scores. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but as far I know, both Jews and Muslims believe in the Old Testament creed of an eye for an eye and tooth for tooth. Jews are still searching the globe to settle scores with old and decrepit prison guards who worked at low level positions in concentration camps 70 years ago, Muslims have similarly ancient, albeit legitimate, grievances that they're still trying to address. In South Africa, Mandela supported settling grievances with the Afrikaners with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, but I can't imagine either side in the Israeli-Arab conflict supporting such an idea.

Oh yes those Jews going around just kicking the shite out of everyone and picking fights. I agree with the statement of greatness of MLK, but Mandela was a Communist thug who went to jail for bombing government buildings. Saying he's a New Testament Christian is pushing it indeed. While under his influence the country was pursuing and killing exclusively due to race. The real Mandela is not at all what is paraded for the world to see, but in the process of dismantling apartheid destroyed one of the few successful countries on the continent. The abuses of apartheid were and still are matched head to head with those in power now, looking at the Boer government past and the now it would be easy to see what period you would wish to live. Let me say also putting Jews in the mix with Muslims and the ANC is patently false with no real appreciation for the facts of either scenario.
