It's pretty extreme to doubt someones religious belief because they use |
a commonword that you don't. |

Be that as it may, it's in common usage in the US.

I'm aware. Sounds to me like it gets PR for Asatru into
the mainstream. Whether "All PR is good PR" is an issue
I'm not sure about, but it's a well known principle. |

Allied Soldiers Punched, Spit On And Verbally Abused Mein Kampf, Lawyer
Says
6/10/2005 - Matt Myford
A German lawyer is filing a lawsuit against American and British
soldiers for treating captured German soldiers' copies of Mein Kampf
"like a rented mule" during the Second World War.
According to sources close to the case, the lawyer, a man named
Wolfgang Kleinerschmidt, has become emboldened by recent reports of
Americans abusing the Koran. Mr. Kleinschmidt sees "a potential
goldmine" in legal compensation for soldiers who had their "guiding
texts cruelly neglected."
Mein Kampf, presently a popular text in Turkish bazaars, was Adolf
Hitler's foray into literature before he attempted world domination.
The book describes the author's anguish over withered German
nationalism, the "growing Jewish menace," and other assorted
complaints. Many soldiers in the German Army carried the book with them
into battle.
According the Kleinschmidt, captured Germans were forced to watch while
American soldiers "looked at the book in a menacing manner" and also
"threatened it with matches."
The Brits, meanwhile, "applied a variety sordid methods to Hitler's
tome." Kleinschmidt said that Germans soldiers told of a particularly
gruesome act that "involved peanut butter and scissors...and Mein Kampf
didn't come out of it looking pretty."
"The British were savages with the book," one former German soldier
said from his home in Rio de Janeiro. "Their toilet work puts these
Guantanamo amateurs to shame."
But Kleinschmidt should meet stout resistance, and not just from
defense attorneys. "Mein Kampf is a sorry piece of work," said one
anonymous author. "For prose that bad, it deserved to be roughed up a
little bit." |

Imagine, Scott likes a piece meant to compare the Koran to Mein Kampf
and Moslems to Hitler. But then Scott likes comparing _everyone_ to
Hitler...except folks who speak of Moslems as Hitler spoke of Jews, of
course.
Seriously, what's troubling is taking the unethical behavior of prison
guards and US policy, and dismissing proper criticism of the same by
turning such abuse into a joke.

This entire thread originated as a type of argument/humor that Scott
regularly employs. Here the point was- if you oppose such religious
abuse as Koran desecration in prisons, you must support child abuse
commited by a person of that religion.
Typical argument he makes:
Eric opposes me shooting the neighbor's noisy (noisy like Nazis!) kids.
He must also, therefore oppose it when my neighbor swats a noisy fly
buzzing around his head. If people can't kill little Hitlers making
racket in the morning in order to de-Nazify the playground, it stands
to reason that we can't kill flies making noise at perfectly reasonable
times of the day.
Then, for several days, he'll say things like:
Eric says it's better to eat flies when they land on our food than to
swat them.
And jokes like:
Eric eats flies!
Brilliant and utterly impenetrable.
