Where's History When We Need It?

A link to this anti-Muslim website was sent to me recently. The writer that created the site was clever enough to include a statement that he would remove the site if he could be proven wrong…and then he goes on to write his messages of hatred without using any facts that might be debated…or proven wrong. For some odd reason, it reminded me of the times of the Chinese Exclusion Act in America (1882), where anything could be said, or written, and rarely questioned…as long as it was anti-Chinese. History is filled with similar examples of this kind of thought. Funny, how we do our best to avoid learning anything from history.
