And? Are the Christians who perpetrated the horrors of the 30 Years War against each other excused then, becuase their Christianity was not as old as ours? Protestantism is far younger than Islam, is it alright for them to kill people who disagree with them?
The former Yugo slavia. Christian hands are not spotless unfortunately. Alot of Muslims were murdered.So far Ive not heard a Christian kill someone and then shout “God is great!” or hear of deaths of some sort of enemy and say the same thing.

Muslims who are killing Catholics today, should be condemned, and we should all condemn what was done to the Muslims by our Christian brothers In the 1990s. Its not ancient history. Peace 
Thanks. I’m aware of this and it is indeed really shocking for me and Im ashamed of this crime by those who had the power to do such things. What Im not sure of is did they do it for God?The former Yugo slavia. Christian hands are not spotless unfortunately. Alot of Muslims were murdered.
That i hesitate to say yes or no to be honest. But I know that when ever the Muslims managed to capture one, they would cut off the 3 fingers used to form the cross. I would suspect at least that the leadership used religion much in the same way Hitler did, to justify their actions. Either way it Is sad. I only wish we could have intervened sooner.Thanks.

I would most definitely day it is a much more rare occurance for Christians to commit these acts. Thankfully as Catholics we have the Pope, who promotes peace and understanding among people.Yes, yes Christians have also done bad things. This is why you must look to the various religions’ respective scriptures to find out whether or not these atrocities are an aberration or a consequence of the founder’s ideology…
I sleep soundly as a Christian.
Speaking of Hitler (sorry to stray off the subject a little), I understand that he admired Islam in some way…was that true?That i hesitate to say yes or no to be honest.

Hitler used the Muslims just as he used everybody else, including the Lutheran Church. He used the Muslims in that region yes. but the vast majority of people who were killed in the 90s, had nothing to do with that era. My reference to Hitler, had more to do with how he used Religious writings to get the people to do what he wanted. Im sure this happened in Yugo slavia to justify the brutality and genocide they were committing. I personally dont care who the agressor is, Christian Muslim whatever. Aggression like this should be stopped, and be stopped immediately. I have no problem with the U.S. being the worlds police, if thats what it takes. peaceSpeaking of Hitler (sorry to stray off the subject a little), I understand that he admired Islam in some way…was that true?
You are absolutely correct that intervention should have been sooner.

Clearly, it’s all wrong.
What happened in Yugoslavia was quite widely condemned. I haven’t heard any Church try to mitigate or ignore it. In fact you had the problem that the world took sides, even though all three sides were killing each other in extremely horrific ways, the actions of Bosnians was often ignored while the Christian Serbs took the brunt of the condemnation and the Christian Croats picking up most of the rest.The former Yugo slavia.

Yes it is, however the OP was asking why Christians don’t condemn other Christians, the answer is we do, it’s the Muslim’s who won’t condemn the actions of their own. Time has nothing to do with it.
Hi Nine_Two. you will notice I left out the Name of the Church that was involved. I did this intentionally. However, to my knowledge and personal interactions with soldiers who did get involved there when the order came down, It was Muslim Mass graves they were guarding. Not Christian Mass Graves. And no, I did not hear much condemnation on the part of the Churches in America at that time. I was a protestant at the time, so I may have missed any declarations from the Catholics and Orthodox in all fairness. I hope we all learned from this ugly chapter and this never happens again. Peace to you and yours.
They have been in the news media. Please demonstrate that they haven’t.
Wait, was THAT why I said I find the supposed condemnation insufficient?Christian apologies must not be good enough either, because they can’t bring the lives lost back.
