Sorry! Kuru(illa) Muckeraj, Ph.D. (Phony Doc) is currently trying, and
quite desperately so, for his swimmers to score him a son and thus get
him off Chitragupt's records of "punnarak-bound asli Hindus". Besides,
he does require that someone else post reviews of Bollywood movies. His
"dharm" is then to dutifully cut and paste those reviews for a
"dhanyavaad" from an ABBA fan. You can, if you so choose, 'commune' with
Muckeraj and 'forward' him your review for cut and paste. If you beg
enough, he might widen the distribution and spam 30 irrelevant
newsgroups with additional material (Muckeraj 'value add').

ATROCITIES BY CHRISTIAN MISSIONARIES - A PARTIAL HISTORY

Forwarded message from S. Kalyanaraman

PARTIAL HISTORY OF CHRISTIAN MISSIONARY ATROCITIES

The Christian missionary mindset is generally depicted as that of
simple religious folk with a pure desire to peacefully spread their
gospel and message of love. In reality, their methods of propagation
are often anything but peaceful and usually leave behind a native
population stripped of their culture and often decimated. With
Christianity failing in the west, the evangelists seek new and
greener fields in the poor and uneducated sections of third world
countries, backed by huge coffers from the less zealous, who are
nonetheless convinced that to bring civilization and religion to the
poor natives is a noble cause, even if they don't want it.
Missionaries often intermix military campaigns with missionary
campaigns in their fervor to "civilize the heathens," who are often
simple happy natives, whose only crime is that they are not
Christians. This mood of conquering the heathens by any means, at any
cost, is supported in the Bible:

"Thou shalt save alive nothing that breathest. But thou shalt utterly
destroy them..." (Deut 20)

"But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over
them, bring hither, and slay them before me." (Luke 19.27)

In the words of one resident of Thailand, "They [Christian
missionaries] seemed that they did not show any interest for our
culture. Why? They are just eager to build big churches in every
village. It seems that they are having two faces; under the title of
help they suppress us. To the world, they gained their reputations as
benefactors of disappearing tribes. They built their reputations on
us for many years. The way they behaved with us seemed as if we did
not know about god before they arrived here."[1]

"Why do missionaries think they are the only ones who can perceive
God?"

In fact, most of the civilizations which were overrun by zealous
Christians in their conversion fervor, were highly evolved in their
moral standards, with complex social structures, high standards of
cleanliness and hygiene, decorative art and evolved sciences, and
content with their own religion.

The arrival of Christianity actually caused these civilizations to
move backwards. In this regard we need only look to Europe, for the
Dark Ages of Europe is a time when the Church was in control. The Age
of Enlightenment (Renaissance) began when the common people were
freed from the tyranny of the Christian church.

Christian missionaries have oppressed many cultures, building
churches atop temples, mosques and shrines. For example, the major
churches in Rome are built atop pagan temples and many historians say
that the Vatican itself is built on the ruins of a Mithra (the Roman
Sungod) temple. The major Christian holy days are all taken from the
pagan holy days. In fact, it is claimed by many historians and
religious scholars that the entirety of Christianity is borrowed from
other religions and cultures and is fraudulent -- Christ is an
amalgamation of a number of personalities existing prior to the
[presumed] time of Christ. [See also: The Borrowing Theory]

CHRISTIAN JUSTICE SYSTEM

Because Christians believe that Jesus Christ suffered for the sins of
others, they use this belief for their own purposes by "letting
Christ suffer while they, the Christians, go on committing sin and
crime."

That is why the Christians go on slaughtering the Non-Christians,
totally worry-free and with a totally clean conscience, because
Christ will take care of their sins and crimes, and because they
don't have to face the laws of Karm and Re-incarnation or the
veritable consequences of these laws. It does not even occur to an
average Christian to ask himself/herself a simple question, that if a
person commits a murder and he tells the court that his Father will
suffer in his place, will the court accept the substitute to suffer
the sentence? An average Christian does not even think that if any
court accepted this kind of substitution, then the justice system of
the world, as we know it, would be totally destroyed and chaos would
ensue.

History is witness to the mass destruction of countless cultures, and
the almost complete genocide of entire races at the hands of
Christianity. History is now proving that most cultures destroyed by
Christianity far outweighed in morals and dignity what they were
replaced by.

Since the effects of much missionary work, the cultural traditions of
a people being replaced by some form of Christianity, are
intentional, this means by definition (according to the United
Nations) that genocide is the missionary profession: converting other
peoples to Christianity and thus destroying them as an ethnical
group, and denying the right of native peoples to exist as what they
are, with their own culture, language, and religion. For a variety of
reasons a massive depopulation, in other words the death of a large
percentage of the native population, follows.[2] And this so-called
righteous work continues even today around the world in the name of
[Christian] humanitarian work.

The plain and simple truth is that people never give up their
religion, any more than they give up their children or their
parents...except when they are pressured with use of force or are
offered attractive allurements. The Christian Slogan that "Faith in
Jesus is the only way to Salvation," besides being totally false, is
also totally ineffective, in gaining converts. Trickery, treachery,
bribery, and bayonetry, therefore, has to be used to obtain converts.

The Christian Missionaries know this blatant truth and Christianity's
brutal and barbaric record of twenty centuries in winning converts,
is a testament to the savage methods of Christianity. [3]

'The Christian resolve to find the world evil and ugly, has made the
world evil and ugly.'

– Friedrich Nietzsche

CRUSADES

Many people think that the crusades were holy wars to liberate holy
lands from non-Christians. But few are informed that many of the
crusades were against other Christian sects, that many of these
Crusades were launched for other purposes, such as the drowning of
almost 6,000 Protestants by Spanish Catholic troops in the
Netherlands in 1568, the sacking of the German city of Magdeburg in
the 17th century, slaying 30,000 Protestants, followed by a 30 year
war between Catholics and Protestants in which more than 40% of the
population (mostly Germans) were decimated.

Probably the most revealing event was the capture and pillage of the
Orthodox Christian bastion of Constantinople by the members of the
Fourth Crusade in 1204, creating an animosity between Catholics and
Orthodox Christians which has lasted into the 20th century.

In reality, the Crusades were the most ambitious Christian war
enterprise and its most conspicuous failure. It was the attempt to
force together all the known world and all mankind under the bishop
of Rome, the Catholic Pope.

The Christian Crusades inspired the most bloodthirsty cruelty, and
the greediest vandalism of medieval men. Politically motivated and
fanatically aggravated, usurping all land and decimating all peoples
who would not surrender to the Vatican. The Crusaders rolled over all
who could not withstand their pillage and carnage like bloodthirsty
conquerors.

By the end of the crusades, most European Christians believed the
unfounded blood-libel myths -- the rumor that Jews engaged in human
sacrifice of Christian children. A long series of Christian
persecutions of the Jews continued in Europe and Russia into the 20th
century. They laid the foundation for the Nazi Holocaust. [4]

WITCH BURNINGS

Of course we have all heard of the Salem Witch Hunts of 1691-1692 and
the burning of a number of "witches" alive at the stake by the
Puritans. But did you know that the Salem witches were all proven
innocent? Of course, this was found out after they were burned. Did
you also know that this witch burning, carried out all over the world
to the tune of several hundred thousand dead (80% women), was
initiated by the Catholic church to rid their dominion of so-called
heretics and was directly related to their mandate to re-populate
Europe after the Black Death or plagues of the 1300's, because their
serfs were decreased by one third, thereby reducing the Church's
profit by one third, since they owned about 30% of Europe's lands.[5]
The ladies (midwives) were accused of impeding the birth rate -- all
birth control knowledge was vigorously erased, so much so that 20th
century scholars believed birth control was a modern invention. The
Inquisitors wrote, "No one is more dangerous and harmful to the
Catholic faith than the midwives."

Pope Innocent VIII's infamous Witch Bull of 1484, launched several
centuries of persecution of so-called witches. Several hundred
thousand women, children and men (about 20%) were tortured and burned
at the stake or hanged. The Malleus Maleficarum (the Witches Hammer
or Handbook of the Inquisitors), available online here as a pdf -

http://www.burningcross.net/crusades/malleus-maleficarum.pdf

], written by two Dominican monks, was perhaps responsible for more
widespread bloodshed than any other publication (Christian or
otherwise). The policy of torturing, burning and hanging of supposed
heretics has been the church's policy for centuries, whenever they
could get away with it. Between the fifteenth and eighteenth
centuries about a half a million people were executed for witchcraft,
most of them women.

PERSECUTIONS OF THE JEWS

There is a long history of the persecution of Jews by Christians,
starting with the burning of synagogues in the 4th century, to
numerous killings of Jews who would not convert to Christianity, to
the extermination of Jewish communities in many European countries,
all the way to a number of extermination camps during World War II in
Yugoslavia, headed by a Franciscan Friar and run by Catholics, which
were the equal of the German kilns of Auschwitz -- killing about half
a million people alone in this small country[5.5].

Hitler Himself justified the extermination of the Jews citing the
Bible and Jesus:

"My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a
fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded
only by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and
summoned men to fight against them and who, God's truth! was greatest
not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian
and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord
at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the
Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was His fight for
the world against the Jewish poison. To-day, after two thousand
years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever
before in the fact that it was for this that He had to shed His blood
upon the Cross. As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be
cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and
justice.... And if there is anything which could demonstrate that we
are acting rightly it is the distress that daily grows. For as a
Christian I have also a duty to my own people.... When I go out in
the morning and see these men standing in their queues and look into
their pinched faces, then I believe I would be no Christian, but a
very devil if I felt no pity for them, if I did not, as did our Lord
two thousand years ago, turn against those (the Jews) by whom to-day
this poor people is plundered and exploited.":

(Adolf Hitler, in his speech on 12 April 1922)

[Note, "brood of vipers" appears in Matt. 3:7 & 12:34. John 2:15
depicts Jesus driving out the money changers (adders) from the
temple.

The word "adders" also appears in Psalms 140:3]

GENOCIDE IN RWANDA

Have you seen the Rwanda movie? Do you know that a substantial number
of priests, nuns and even Bishops were indicted and a great many were
convicted (by war crimes tribunals) for being directly responsible
for the senseless slaughter of thousands of innocent Tutsis? Many
clergy turned over those who had taken shelter in their churches to
the machetes of the Hutu militia. The hatred and division between the
Hutus and Tutsis was propagated by the missionaries as favorable for
their objectives of conversion to Christianity.

One priest even burned down his own church to kill hundreds of Tutsis
who had taken sanctuary there. Two priests were sentenced to death in
1998 for their roles in this genocide and two Benedictine nuns who
supplied gasoline for the burning of Tutsi civilians sheltered in
their church fled to Belgium where they were later convicted of
complicity to murder.

"Sister Maria Kisito, who received 12 years, and her Mother Superior,
Sister Gertrude, who received 15 years, were convicted of aiding in
the slaughter of some 7,000 people who sought refuge at their convent
in southern Rwanda. Prosecutors argued that they called in Hutu
militiamen to drive people out of the convent knowing they would be
killed, and later provided gasoline that militiamen used to set fire
to a garage in which about 500 Tutsis had taken refuge." (Washington
Post, June 9, 2001)[6]

Of course the Catholic Church has claimed their clergy were acting
independently of the church, even though much of the most notable
genocide occurred in churches and it is well known that the church's
policy has been for centuries to divide and convert, to sew
dissention between ethnic groups and then move in and take advantage
of the chaos to offer Christian solace and conversion.

In the end nearly one million civilians were butchered.

TAHITI & THE PACIFIC

We all remember the story of Captain Bligh and the Mutiny on the
Bounty. However, hardly anyone knows that the crew mutinied because
they were so attracted to the idyllic life on Tahiti -- the crew was
determined to return to Tahiti and not go to England. Captain Cook
himself wrote of "these happy islands and the good people on them."
Further, he later wrote, "It would have been far better for these
poor people never to have known us."

In 1797, the London Missionary Society put its first missionaries on
the shores of Tahiti. Fourteen years later they had not made one
convert, even though the happy Tahitians provided them with servants
galore, built their houses and fed them. Finally the Christians
devised an ingenious plan, which 'converted' the entire island in one
day. According to a letter written home by brethren J. M. Orsmond,
one of their own members, they reduced the local chief, Pomare, to an
alcoholic and backed him in a war against other island chiefs,
supplying him with firearms, to be used against the other islanders
clubs. The understanding was that with his victory all would be
forced to convert. Then, a reign of terror followed where non-
believers were killed. It was declared illegal by the Christians for
anyone to decorate themselves with flowers, to sing (other than
hymns), to surf or dance. Within 25 years the native culture of
Tahiti and the entire Pacific was extinguished.

The attempt to make the Tahitians into service growers of sugar cane
failed and the good Christian Mr. Orsmond, deciding that "a bountiful
nature diminishes men's natural desire to work," had all the
breadfruit trees cut down. Such practices, as well as diseases
(brought from outside), such as syphilis, tuberculosis and smallpox
reduced the original population (estimated by Cook at 200,000) to
6,000 after thirty years of missionary rule.

Their power base firmly established in Tahiti, the missionaries moved
swiftly to the outer islands, using the same techniques. They
introduced a local chieftan to the bottle, crowned him king and
induced him to carry out the Christian's work of conquering and
converting at sword point.

The Polynesians and Melanesian people were also very cultured and
intertwined with the processes of creation. They decorated everything
with intricate wood carvings and flowers and produced many beautiful
things. Yet by 1850 all this was gone, the only remaining vestige of
these great cultures were the grass skirts and swaying hips for the
tourists. Prior to the Christianization of Polynesia and Hawaii the
local dances were mostly performed by men of the priesthood, the
Christians turned such dances as the Hula into a sex show for the
tourists. The Christian conquest of the Pacific was complete.

HAWAII

Not only did the missionaries and the Europeans bring the Bible to
Hawaii they also brought diseases to the native population. The
British explorer Captain James Cook's visit to Hawaii in 1778 is
generally credited with the 'discovery' of Hawaii but history reveals
that others had been there before. Many missionaries followed.

The Hawaiians, like the American Indians, had no idea what private
property meant. The missionaries decided the land belonged to them
and not the native Hawaiian population. With the help of the American
diplomatic representative at Honolulu, the Hawaiian capitol, and the
aid of the United States warship Boston, a coup d'etat was
implemented. The Boston landed Marines and sailors. The American
missionary party formed a provisional Government and endeavored to
make a treaty with the United States looking for annexation. Later,
when President McKinley came to office the request of the rump
Government for annexation was undertaken.

The original missionaries to Hawaii ended up large landowners.

Although the missionaries were a small handful of the population they
ended up with vast land holdings to the exclusion of the native
Hawaiians, who had lived there for thousands of years. Put simply,
the missionaries stole their land.

The missionaries did everything possible to destroy the ethnic
Hawaiian culture, from banning all Hawaiian religious practices,
walking barefoot, and even banning a faultless sport like surfing.

Christians [according to the Hawaiians] are said to have introduced
the mosquito into Hawaii in the hopes that this would force the
natives to wear more clothes. Only in modern times has pride in
Hawaiian art, song, dance and religion been revived.

"When the Christians came to these islands they said, take this
Bible, close your eyes and pray, so we did; when we opened our eyes
all we had was this Bible and the white man had all our Islands."
Hawaiian Kahuna

COLUMBUS & THE CARIBBEAN ISLANDS

Christopher Columbus, a trader of African slaves, is best known as
the 'so-called' discoverer of America. In his personal log, Columbus
wrote that, his purpose in seeking undiscovered worlds was "to bring
the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the heathens." [Columbus' Book of
Prophecies]

On his first voyage Columbus described the natives as follows:

"The people of this island and of all other islands which I have
found and seen, ... all ... are so artless and free with all they
possess, that no one would believe it without having seen it. Of
anything they have, if you ask them for it, they never say no; rather
they invite the person to share it, and show as much love as if they
were giving their hearts..." But Colombus' mission was to take the
land for Christendom and convert all these peoples to Christianity or
exterminate them and replace their culture, hence:

In whichever island he touched (on his second voyage) his men killed
indiscriminately whatever animals and natives they found, "looting
and destroying all they found," as Columbus' son Fernando put it. The
natives were either killed or enslaved. Columbus commented in this
regard, that the natives "ought to be good servants... and would
easily be made Christians," because he saw his affairs as the
"fulfillment of prophecies in Isaiah." To any objections from the
natives, Columbus responded with, "...with the help of God, we shall
.. make war against you in all ways and manners that we can, and
shall subject you to the yoke and obedience of the Church and of
Their Highness. We shall take you and your wives and your children,
and shall make slaves of them." [7]

Eyewitnesses recalled, "Once the Indians were in the woods, the next
step was to form squadrons and pursue them, and whenever the
Spaniards found them, they pitilessly slaughtered everyone like
sheep... So they would cut an Indian's hands and leave them
dangling... Some Christians encounter an Indian women, and since the
dog they had with them was hungry, they tore the child from the
mother's arms and flung it still living to the dog..." After all, the
Indians were only infidels."

Of Columbus' second voyage, it has been further written: "The
Spaniards found pleasure in inventing all kinds of odd cruelties...
They built a long gibbet, long enough for the toes to touch the
ground to prevent strangling, and hanged thirteen [natives] at a time
in honor of Christ Our Savior and the twelve apostles... then, straw
was wrapped around their torn bodies and they were burned alive." [8]

In less than a decade after Columbus' first landing the native
population of the island of Hispaniola (Santo Domingo & Haiti)-- and
thousands and thousands of people -- had dropped by a third to a
half.

Before the next century ended, the populations of Cuba and many other
Caribbean islands had been virtually exterminated.

NORTH AMERICA

VIRGINIA The Charter for the Virginia Colony stated that its purpose
was to bring the Christian religion to those in ignorance of true
knowledge of God.

Historian Edmund S. Morgan compiled the following description from
Christian accounts of events occurring in one of the earliest
settlements of English Christians, in Roanoke, Virginia in 1580:

"Wingina [the local chief] welcomed the visitors, and the Indians
gave freely of their supplies to the English, who had lost most of
their own when the Tyger [their ship] grounded." [9]

"Indian openness and generosity were met with European stealth and
greed. Ritualized Indian warfare, in which few people died in battle,
was met with the European belief in devastating holy war. Vast stores
of grain and other food supplies that Indian peoples had lain aside
became the fuel that [later] drove the Europeans forward." [10]

"Indians who came to the English settlements with food for the
British (who seemed never able to feed themselves) were captured,
accused of being spies, and executed. Peace treaties were signed with
every intention to violate them: when the Indians 'grow secure uppon
the treatie,' advised the Counsel of State in Virginia, 'we shall
have the better advantage both to surprise them & cutt downe theire
Corne.' " [11]

Arthur Barlowe, one of the first Christians ever to set foot on
Virginia soil, described the natives he encountered in 1584 as
follows:

"...we were entertained with all love and kindness and with as much
bounty, ...as they could possibly devise. We found the people most
gentle loving, and faithfull, void of all guile and treason ... a
more kind and loving people there cannot be found in the world, as
farre as we have hitherto had triall." [12]

Their supposedly Christian treatment of these friendly native
Americas was that:

"...we burnt, and spoyled their corne, and Towne, all the people
beeing fledde." [13]

MIDWEST

Greed drove over a hundred thousand intruders into the area by 1825,
few of whom were ever expelled. Though protection from intruders was
a guarantee to the Cherokee by treaty, which the State of Georgia and
the federal government were supposed to uphold it was never given the
slightest honor by white interests. Forts were established to police
against intruders but what they did was to harass the Cherokee and
provide safety and protection for whites from those who tried to
protect their families.

The State of Georgia insured no Cherokee would ever receive justice
by forbidding the testimony or presence of any Native American in a
court of law, period, just like the Nuremberg Laws of 1936 against
Jews in Germany. This gave all whites free rein to terrorize, steal
and kill any Native person they wanted to. No Cherokee "removed"
because they wanted to, it was because the protection they were
assured by treaty obligation was never provided.

The missionaries who entered Indian country were sent there to
"civilize" the native people. They acquired this position by
negotiation through treaty and were given vast amounts of land and
guaranteed subsidies administered by the federal government out of
tribal money. This money never touched the hands of the Cherokee and
most often none was left after missionary, Indian agents,
superintendents and corrupt tribal government leaders got done with
it.

In 1832 Congress appropriated $12,000 dollars to begin the fight
against smallpox in Indian country, 20 years after they did the same
for whites. Significantly, actual vaccination expenditures that first
year "for smallpox and certain other things" amounted to only $1,786,
as opposed to $5,721 for "missionary improvement" and $9,424 for the
"civilization of the Indians." One year later, in 1833, actual
expenditures were down to $721. [14]

This is why most Native Americans today who are knowledgeable of
their history are pointing out that the United States Government
waged genocide against their people. When medicine to heal children
and families from a deadly and mortal disease is withheld, that
agency which does this crime against humanity is committing genocide.

"Civilizing" meant taking children away from their parents at the
ages of 5-12 years and forcing them to live without father, mother,
sister or brother in missionary schools, if you can imagine that
being done to a little child. This practice was not exclusive to the
early years of American history but continued up until the mid 1970's
in this country. Children were beaten and given forced labor during
their stay in school. Participation was "optional" but missionaries
controlled the annuities of food and trust money through their
relationship with superintendents and the military. Families that did
not surrender their children did not receive food or payments that
were supposed to be guaranteed to them.

Very young children caught in this situation were brainwashed to
treat their parents as savages and barbarians and they suffered
terribly under this psychological torture. By this method through
several generations, Cherokees, like most Native Americans were
stripped of the knowledge of their heritage, religious beliefs and
trust of their family supports.

This is why it is called a Red Holocaust and fits the United Nations
accords for genocide. Any people whose children are taken from them
in order to destroy the religious, spiritual, racial and cultural
heritage of that people are victims of genocide.

The pressure to build a slave based empire on Native Cherokee soil
was highly successful. Thomas Jefferson who wrote the removal policy
and openly supported genocide of Native Americans declared, "If ever
we are constrained to lift the hatchet against any tribe we will
never lay it down till that tribe is exterminated, or is driven
beyond the Mississippi... they will kill some of us; we shall destroy
all of them." [15]

Missionary work was very big business. It afforded the building of
careers, growth of denominational influence in regions that formed
economic bases of support. Churches were established through
lucrative payments from Indian funds and lands, which were deeded for
use as farms, timber production and for sale in financing further
ventures, not the least of which was buying selling and working their
slaves.

Churches and missionaries were aggressively competing for government
contracts among the Native American people all the way up until the
1970's when Native American Education legislation made it too
difficult for the government to sever lands for missionary work
without compensation.

To give some insight into the abuse of law that the State of Georgia
in the early 19th century used to terrorize the Cherokee, the
banishment of "intruders" was only enforced against whites, who stood
up for the Cherokee by representing their interests. It was also used
by whites through the... spoils system to get rid of squatters whose
land was coveted by another white. Those whites who took public
stands for Native people in the area were thrown out. Worcester was
one such missionary. He returned and was thrown into prison for a
year for his stand on Cherokee rights.

It is especially telling that while almost no Indians voluntarily
lived among the colonists, the number of whites who ran off to live
with the natives was a problem often remarked upon. Historian James
Axtell has concluded that the whites who chose to remain among the
natives

"...stayed because they found Indian life to possess a strong sense
of community, abundant love, and uncommon integrity -- values that
the European colonists also honored... But Indian life was attractive
for other values -- for social equality, mobility, adventure, and as
two adult converts acknowledged, 'the most perfect freedom, the ease
of living, [and] the absence of those cares and corroding solicitudes
which so often prevail with us.' " [16]

After a century and a half of permanent British settlement in North
America, even Benjamin Franklin joined numerous earlier commentators
lamenting that

"...when an Indian child has been brought up among us, taught our
language and habituated to our Customs, yet if he goes to see his
relations and make one Indian Ramble with them, there is no
perswading them ever to return.

[But] when white persons of either sex have been taken prisoners
young by the Indians, and lived a while among them, tho' ransomed by
their Friends, and treated with all imaginable tenderness to prevail
with them to stay among the English, yet in a short time they become
disgusted with our manner of life, and the care and pains that are
necessary to support it, and take the first good Opportunity of
escaping again into the Woods, from whence there is no reclaiming
them." [17]

Since they were uttered by one of America's founding fathers,
however, the most widely admired of the South's slaveholding
philosophers of freedom, they conveniently have become lost to most
historians in their insistent celebration of Jefferson's wisdom and
humanity." Further references available. [18]

CALIFORNIA MISSIONS

The book, The Missions of California: A Legacy of Genocide, edited by
Rupert Costo and Jeannette Henry Costo [19] (Indian rights
activists), spells out the apparent brutality of the California
Franciscan missionaries (and their founder Junipero Serra, who was to
be made a saint) against the North American Indians; citing numerous
contemporary accounts of the brutality and degrading conditions
endemic to the mission system in California.

Interviews from 1985 with eight scholars (arranged by the Catholic
Diocese of Monterey in defense of Serra) actually contain the
strongest evidence against the mission system itself. The
ethnocentrism of the interviewees and their at times embarrassing
lack of knowledge regarding Indian ways, leads to numerous
questionable assertions. Serra's supporters generally acknowledge
that the methods employed to convert the Indians would be unthinkable
for missionaries to use today.

The work of A. L. Kroeber, Sherburne Cook, Robert Heizer (all cited
in the text) and others establishes that the arrival of the Europeans
was a cultural and demographic catastrophe for the California
Indians. Too often it is forgotten that Serra aimed not just to
convert the Indians to Catholicism but to eradicate Indian culture as
well. It is in this sense that the book's subtitle. "A Legacy of
Genocide" is justified.

Many of Serra's fiercest critics are individuals actively engaged in
efforts to heal Indian society by recovering and honoring the
traditional ways that bound tribes together for centuries. The
attempt to sanctify a man who dedicated his life to the destruction
of those ways is, understandably, galling to them.

Some accounts shed further light on the missions activities:

[T]he Puritan minister John Robinson had complained to Plymouth's
William Bradford that although a group of massacred Indians no doubt
"deserved" to be killed, "Oh, how happy a thing had it been, if you
had converted some before you killed any!" [20]

And kill them they did... At the mission of Nuestra Sentora de
Loreto, reported the Franciscan chronicler Father Francisco Palone,
during the first three years of Franciscan rule 76 children and
adults were baptized, while 131 were buried... The same held true at
others, from the mission of Santa Rosalin¡ de Mulegne, with 48
baptisms and 113 deaths, to the mission of San Ignacio, with 115
baptisms and 293 deaths -- all within the same initial three year
period.

MEXICO CITY

Unlike European cities of the late 1400's, which were filled with
squalor and disease (most Europeans never took a bath in their entire
life, hence the invention of French perfume) [D.E. Stannard, American
Holocaust. Columbus and the conquest of the New World, New
York/Oxford 1992, pg. 59], Mexico was clean. The twin cities of
Tenochtitlan and Tlateloico, know today as Mexico City, maintained
high standards: wastes were hauled away by barge and composted for
fertilizer, a thousand men swept and washed the streets every day.
Refined Aztecs, who bathed daily, found it advisable to hold flowers
to their noses when they met Europeans, who made it a point of being
filthy. Most of Mexico's streets were canals and an aquaduct brought
drinking water from mountain springs. [21]

Hernan Cortez felt that this was by far the most beautiful city on
earth, stated: "All of these houses have very large and very good
rooms and very pleasing gardens of various sorts of flowers..." [22]
The Christian visitors were astonished by the personal cleanliness
and hygiene of the colorfully dressed populace, and by their
extravagant (to the Christians) use of soaps, deodorants, and breath
sweeteners.

[23]

The Mexicans [Aztecs] were tolerant of other peoples, such as the
Otomi, who lived among them. These had their own religion, culture,
language... tribal hatreds did not seem to exist within the Mexican
body politic." [24]

As a consequence of Columbus' 'discovery,' less than a century after
his voyage the city had been sacked by Christians, its buildings and
beautiful gardens burnt and devastated. The city's inhabitants, who
before Columbus had known only temporary slavery as a means of
judicial correction, were either dead or permanent slaves to a
Church-approved colonial feudal government, or directly to a Church
which burned at the stake any survivors unwilling to be converted to
a religion which even faithful Christians of today could only
describe as a hopeless medley of absurd or revolting superstitions --
one has only to think of the reliquaries, collections of skulls,
bones, teeth, or other remains of so-called saints, enshrined and
openly displayed to be worshiped -- in any given Christian Church of
the time.

THE PHILIPPINES

Shortly after the Spanish American war of 1898, the US obtained legal
right to the Philippines via the Treaty of Paris. President McKinley
stated that "military occupation of the islands is declared to be to
protect the people." For the president, American duty compelled the
US to "uplift and civilize and Christianize them [the Philippines],
and by God's grace do the very best we could for them." The Filipinos
had not requested this, but their will was ignored as was their
revolutionary government, and new constitution. The Filipino
resistance to this American 'help,' was met with military might. The
US command stated that, "it may be necessary to slaughter one-half of
the rebellious Filipinos in order to bring the other half into
subjection."

Well over 200,000 Filipinos lost their lives in their struggle
against American imperialism. The Methodist church, great champions
of this war of 'divine mission,' did not distinguish imperialism from
the mission of evangelization. James Henry Potts, editor of the
Michigan Christian Advocate, was so confident of the righteousness of
the cause that the human cost simply did not matter and we must
"conquer the rebellious Filipinos and give them the blessings of the
best administration possible... Those islands are ours."
Propagandists portrayed the Filipino resistance leaders as not
representing the general will of the Filipinos, but were dismayed
that they continued to resist. After all, Americans "knew what was
best for the Filipinos," they needed American guidance, but showed
"no appreciation of the fact that America had lifted the galling
Spanish yoke from their necks..." [replacing it, unfortunately, with
their own yoke.]

The previous arbitrary cruel treatment of the Filipinos by the
Spaniards was repeated by the American oppressors in their new view,
as necessary measures to subdue the Filipino rebels. Thus the blame
for their violent actions was transferred from the perpetrator of the
action to the victim. This became clear when the public learned that
U.S. soldiers perpetrated grave acts against mankind, including the
brutal torture and execution of prisoners, the burning and looting of
Filipino towns and the forced relocation of civilians.

Six hundred saloons had sprung up in Manila, which became over one
thousand by 1900, (where formerly there were less than ten) and the
armies' abuses were blamed on alcohol. The Detroit Annual Conference
of Methodists focused on temperance and overlooked the heinous
activities committed by the army.

The cries of "God wills it," were the religious justification for the
assertion of political power fused with missionary zeal. Reverend
William Oldham declared that "the roar of the (American) cannon was
the voice of Almighty God declaring (the Philippines) shall be
freed."

It was the mission of the Americans to spread the faith, and like the
holy crusaders before, military conquest was the first step in this
"holiest of wars."

The eyes of the church were resolutely focused on American Protestant
victory against Filipino independence and Catholicism. How far astray
these Methodist missionaries had gone, is clearly illustrated by the
statement of Editor Potts who proclaimed that the "worst war in the
Philippines is yet to come," since the Protestant missionaries
encountered deeply entrenched Catholic beliefs and institutions which
were viewed as opposing American principles and systems. Patriotism
and Christianity had become indistinguishable and the Filipinos
defense was perceived by these Christian invaders as unjustifiable
resistance operating under the spell of 'Satan's Arts.'

BURMA and THAILAND

Accounts from local residents claim that:

The American Baptist Paul Lewis sterilized more than 20,000 Akha Hill
Tribe women in Burma's Eastern Shan State alone. This was done
secretly, and blood was stolen from these women for resale, taken
during the sterilization procedure. More than 3,000 of the women
died.

[25]

In Akha traditional culture, five people serve as the government in
one village. This multiperson leadership system in villages was
eliminated and replaced by single pastors who rule the villages with
an iron fist, allowing no dissent or return to the traditional ways.

These changes have sewn havoc amongst the locals.

"There would be no traditional practices, songs, or dances at all
now, possibly something would be allowed at Christmas. The woman who
practices the traditional knowledge and medicine for the village was
stopped. She was told that it was evil and that she could no longer
treat people's illnesses. In the name of their religious beliefs, and
quite in contradiction with the spirit of those beliefs, the
missionaries are eradicating Akha culture in village after village.

[26]

A Thai speaks out on mission activities in Thailand:

"Especially in Thailand, due to the high levels of prostitution,
under the name of safeguarding young women, boarding schools for
girls sprout up. But then the girls no longer want to marry Akha
[non-Christian] men." [27]

"Regarding religion, at the beginning it seemed to be very good.

Later, it turned out to be a division among the people. Some became
Catholics, some Protestants, some still holding their ancestors
offering while others became Buddists. All these, they could not face
to one another. The missionaries often cause dissention in the
villages without permission of the village leaders."

"Now we want to raise a question, how good is Christianity then? If
that is good enough, why there are so many groups, teaching about
Jesus and yet fighting one another? First they divided our people now
they are dividing our villages and families. We seem to be like a
prey for them. Better not to have one of them than having all of
them."

VIETNAM

Perhaps, you remember seeing the news videos of Buddhists burning
themselves with gasoline in the 1960's? Do you know why they burned
themselves? They were protesting the discriminatory treatment and
torture by the fanatical Catholic South Vietnamese government of Ngo
Dinh Diem, installed by the U.S. military. With the Vaticans
influence, led by Cardinal Spellman, democratic elections were
stopped in Vietnam, and Dim installed. This was followed by the ill-
fated Vietnam war.

Do you think that the government of the U.S.A. stands for democracy
in every country? Actually they are only for democracies that elect a
government favorable to or are cooperative with U.S. foreign
policies.

If they are not agreeable with and subordinate to U.S. interests,
then covert U.S. forces make arrangements for other leaders, like
Mussaraf in Pakistan, like so many leaders in South or Central
America or Diem in Vietnam, to take power.

CHINA

Although most everyone has heard of the Boxer Rebellion in China in
1900, few know that this rebellion was directly a reaction of the
Chinese people to the Christian missionaries who swarmed into the
country in order to convert the poor, illiterate, and defenseless
Chinese. The rebellion was of course suppressed by the countries that
were patronizing the converting missionaries.

In October of 2000, over twenty Chinese scholars, experts on history
and religion, held a symposium, exposing the crimes committed by the
then recently "canonized" foreign missionaries and their followers.

Scholars listed a number of facts to illustrate that in modern
history the activities of Catholic missionaries were closely linked
with the invasion of China by foreign forces.

Prof. Dai Yi said, "Lots of foreign missionaries followed the
warships of foreign aggressors to China in and after the Opium War,
and actually foreign aggression and missionaries' activities are
combined into one. That is, missionaries' activities were an integral
part of invasion, missionaries acted as guides and tools for foreign
aggressors and in return, aggressors paved the way for the
missionaries' activities." It is the foreign missionaries that should
answer for the consequences to their actions because their monstrous
evils exasperated the Chinese people and eventually fused the
outburst of the Yi He Tuan (known as Boxers) Movement.

Participants in the symposium pointed out that foreign missionaries
executed in certain "religious cases," such as Auguste Chapdelaine,
Franciscus de Capillas and Albericus Crescitelli, had only themselves
to blame for still being hated by people today, because they had
stopped no evil.

The Holy See, disregarding the strong opposition from the Chinese
people, "canonized" these infamous missionaries, which reveals the
Vatican's "vicious intention to intervene in China's internal affairs
through religious activities," the scholars said, pointing out that
the "canonization" tramples on the sovereignty of the Chinese
Catholic Church, as well as a severe provocation to the 1.2 billion
Chinese people.

The scholars all voiced their protest over the perverse and vicious
deeds of the Vatican, saying that the present China is strong enough
to protect its national security and national dignity and any attempt
to distort history and humiliate the Chinese people is doomed to
failure.

The Chinese government's obvious reaction to such Christian preaching
activities over many centuries has been to ban all conversion efforts
in China.

INDIA

India's first major contact with Christianity began when Vasco da
Gama, from Portugal, landed with gunboat and priests in 1498... The
newcomers were not only merchants but also devout Christians ordered
by the Pope: "... to invade, conquer, and subject all the countries
which are under rule of the enemies of Christ, Saracens (Moslems who
fought against the Christian Crusaders in the middle ages) or
Pagan...."

Hindus were forced to convert or faced torture and death. Thousands
had to flee Goa in order to keep their culture and religious beliefs.

The historian Gaspar Correa described what Vasco da Gama did, thus:

"When all the Indians had thus been executed, he ordered them to
strike upon their teeth with staves and they knocked them down their
throats; as they were put on board, heaped on top of each other,
mixed up with the blood which streamed from them; and he ordered mats
and dry leaves to be spread over them and sails to be set for the
shore and the vessels set on fire... " Before killing and burning the
innocent Hindus he had their hands, ears and noses cut off.

.."When the Zamorin (head of the Hindu population) sent another
Brahmin (Hindu Priest) to Vasco to plead for peace, he had his lips
cut off and his ears cut off. The ears of a dog were sewn on him
instead and the Brahmin was sent back to Zamorin in that state. The
Brahmin... had brought with him three young boys, two of them his
sons and the other a nephew. They were hanged from the yardarm and
their bodies sent ashore."

Francis Xavier, a Jesuit Priest, came soon after Vasco da Gama, with
the firm resolve of uprooting Hinduism from the soil of India and
planting Christianity in its place. His sayings and doings have been
documented in his numerous biographies. Francis Xavier, wrote back
home,

"As soon as I arrived in any heathen village, when all are baptized,
I order all the temples of their false gods to be destroyed and all
the idols to be broken to pieces. I can give you no idea of the joy I
feel in seeing this done." The Church had a special way of dealing
with converted Hindus who were suspected of not observing Christian
rites with appropriate rigour and enthusiasm, or even of covertly
practicing their old faith: "...the culprits would be tracked down
and burnt alive."[28]

Xavier called for an inquisition, recorded by historians as being
more horrendous and barbaric than any prior to that. Thousands were
tortured mutilated and killed. Thousands had to flee Goa in order to
keep their traditional culture and religion.

It is recorded that between 600 and 1,000 Hindu temples and shrines
were destroyed, but many consider these numbers to be on the
conservative side. [29]

Many types of brutal torture were employed by the Inquisitors, such
as mutilation of body parts, fire torture and drownings. The details
of this torture are too ghastly and horrid to contemplate for any
sane human being.

"Children were flogged and slowly dismembered in front of their
parents whose eyelids had been sliced off to make sure they missed
nothing. Extremities were amputated carefully, so that a person could
remain conscious even when all that remained was a torso and a
head."[30]

The archbishop of Evora, in Portugal, eventually wrote, "If
everywhere the Inquisition was an infamous court, the infamy, however
base, however vile, however corrupt and determined by worldly
interests, it was never more so than in Goa. [31]

No body knows the exact number of Goans subjected to these diabolical
tortures; low estimates put the number in the tens of thousands, high
estimates are in the hundreds of thousands, perhaps even more. The
abominations of these inquisitions continued from 1560 until a brief
respite was given in 1774, but four years later, the inquisition was
introduced again and it continued un-interruptedly until 1812 -- the
inquisition in Goa wend on for over two-hundred and fifty years. At
that point in time, in the year of 1812, the British put pressure on
the Portuguese to put an end to the terror of the Inquisition and the
presence of British troops in Goa enforced the British desire.[32]

Dr. Trasta Breganka Kunha, a Catholic citizen of Goa writes, "Inspite
of all the mutilations and concealment of history, it remains an
undoubted fact that religious conversion of Goans is due to methods
of force adopted by the Portuguese to establish their rule. As a
result of this violence the character of our people was destroyed.
The propagation of Christian sect in Goa came about not by religious
preaching but through the methods of violence and pressure. If any
evidence is needed for this fact, we can obtain it through law books,
orders and reports of the local rulers of that time and also from the
most dependable documents of the Christian sect itself."[33]

A proposed celebration for the 500 year anniversary of Vasco de
Gama's arrival in India was fiercly proposed and successfully
stopped, bringing together a surprising alliance of Hindus, Muslims,
left wing campaigners and environmentalists.

The Gaur-Sarasvata Brahmins were one such sect who had to flee at the
hands of the invading fanatics. Now their sect is situated in the
state of Karnataka. Leaving everything behind and starting from
scratch they are now a very well to do and prosperous community.
Their temples rival any in the world. Still practicing their ancient
Vedic religion, the Gaur-Sarasvata Brahmins are recognized for their
dignity, honesty and contributions to society. This soundly nullifies
the idea propagated by the Christian zealots that Hindu religion is
heathen and pagan.

Frances Xavier is commonly known as 'St. Francis Xavier,' 'the Patron
Saint of the East.' He is still worshipped, prayed to and honored as
the pure representative of Jesus Christ and his gospel by Christians
all over the world. There are innumerable hospitals, schools, and
other institutions in India named after him. Even today the
archdiocese of Goa boasts,

"The glorious chapter of the expansion of the Catholic Church in the
east can be said to have begun after the European 'discovery' of the
sea route to India in 1498. This helped the coming of the European
fathers to these lands, one of them being St. Francis Xavier, the
great Apostle of the East and Patron of the Missions. Goa is
privileged to have been the starting point of his Church work labours
and the place where his sacred remains are preserved. Goa was called
the "Rome of the East" due to the central role it played in
evangelization of the east." [34]

India today is ruled by a secular government modeled after the
western democracies. What many Indians do not understand is that the
idea of secular government, first seen in the United States of
America, was a reaction to the theocratic tyrannies that pervaded the
Dark Ages of Europe all the way to the founding of the American
nation. Separation of religion and government were an effort to ward
off and prevent any Christian theocracy from taking control in modern
times.

Now the Christian tactics have changed, but their underlying premise
that 'Christianity is the only true religion' nullifies all their
attempts of portraying themselves as tolerant and loving. The reality
is that Christianity has not changed its theology, it has only
changed its techniques of conversion. Christian evangelists are now
using vast amounts of wealth (billions of US dollars) to spread their
propaganda.

Mission activity in India comes in the guise of helping the
downtrodden, sick and helpless. In reality the aim is the same -- to
convert all to Christianity and in the wake destroy all the cultures
and religions that lie in the way. There is no need to abuse, attack,
or condemn the Non-Christian religions. The plain truth is the
Christian Missionaries work with usage of lies, falsehood, and
hypocrisy. The social improvement facade is only a camouflage or
disguise for conversion work.

Why should the Christian Missionaries want to collect converts?
Because it is in the nature of the religions of exclusivity (Islam
and Christianity) to try to make every one like them in terms of
religion.

They have no use, whatsoever, for pluralism or respect for other
religions; in fact what they have is pure contempt for other
religions. Further, this exclusivity attachment and attitude comes
straight from the horse's mouth i.e. from their scriptures. For
instance, in the Bible Matthew 28:19-20, Mark 16:15-16, and Luke
24:46-47 every Christian is commanded to make converts and it is the
duty of every Christian to uphold these commands of the Bible.

A glance at their activities in India clearly reveals that the
Christian Missionaries denigrate and demonize the Hindus every single
day. Hinduism is equated with Devil Worship and Hindus are described
as Heathens, as workers for the Devil, and as lost souls who are
headed straight to hell.

Now-a-days, in most civilized countries, open and outright utterance
of ignoble and unflattering slurs and put downs on the basis of race,
religion, creed, or other affiliation is not tolerated because it has
been legislated as illegal. But in Pseudo-Secular India, Hindus can
be freely insulted, abused, degraded and dragged into mud, by the
Christian Missionaries with impunity, without any fear of lawsuit.

They freely broadcast their Hate-Hindu, vile and vituperative
propaganda into Indian villages and cities.

Because the preacher of Christianity single-mindedly believes his
loathing gospels of hate, seeing them as divine commands from his
religion, he utters venom and vindictiveness against the Hindu with
zeal and with [in their estimation] a clear conscience.

Nearly every single day, rhetoric similar to the words below confirm
the reality that Christianity, while posing as a religion of love,
peace and tolerance is anything but that.

"These Hindu Heathens have their idols and their superstitions, their
idol-bearing temples and shrines where they conduct their noisy
foolish rituals and ceremonies. They generate a lot of evil. They are
totally ignorant that Jesus Christ came to overcome death. There is a
great need to propagate the Christian Gospel amongst them."

Only now is India beginning to realize what the Christian Mission
activity is really all about. This is evidenced in states like
Nagaland, Mizoram, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and in other areas in
Northeast India. As soon as Christians become a majority in a given
area, they sow the venom of hatred and strife, turning family member
against family member, villager against villager and instigate their
Christian followers to ask for self-determination and a Christian
Homeland. This is virtually the same technique that the Moslems
continue to use with success.

As soon as a convert is made, they are greatly encouraged to
vehemently and publicly denigrate their previous culture, traditions
and everything related to it. This greatly disrupts the entire
community and its normal social and economic activities.

Militant Christians in several of these Northeastern Indian provinces
have been forcing non-Christian residents to either convert to
Christianity or face capital punishment. With death staring at their
face, most of the adult members have fled the villages to escape
torture, resulting in disruption of agricultural activities. Buddhist
leaders of both the states of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh have
strongly condemned the heinous carnage committed by the militants on
the peace-loving Buddhists and tribal cult followers.

Because Hindus now know what the Christians are up to, it is time to
take some serious steps to counter the Christian propaganda and
instill pride in Indians across the nation for their glorious past
and distinguished Vedic heritage.

Conclusion

Christians have always portrayed non-Christian civilizations as
backwards, underdeveloped, superstitious, and barbaric. What really
underlies all of their criticism is that these cultures do not accept
Jesus, the Bible and their western way of life. This is what, in the
Christians' opinion, deems these cultures as needing their help, when
in fact the their fervor to destroy any theistic conception other
than Christianity or any temple other than a church shows that they
are really the ones who are showing the qualities of barbarians.

Today, many are uninformed and believe that mission excesses only
took place in prior times and today's preaching works are a 'good
thing.' But as long as the basic premises and theology that underly
all the abuses that took place in the past are not corrected, the
result of mission activities will remain the same: Genocide and
destruction of all that lies in its way, replacing it with the
'superior religion and culture' that most missionaries believe they
are delivering.

In retrospect, these various ethnic cultures were far better off
before the introduction of Christianity, as it had nothing better to
offer them. In reality, these cultures were decimated, their
histories were erased, their cultural traditions eradicated, their
former religions destroyed and they were left more unhappy than
before the arrival of Christianity.

There have been many revisions in the teachings of Jesus Christ since
it first took hold some 2,000 years ago. But until the xenophobic and
iconoclastic teachings of the Bible are corrected, mission activity
will yield the same catastrophic results. As taught in the Bible, 'we
can know a tree by its fruit,' these evangelists need to adopt a more
pluralistic theology, recognizing the divinity in other religions and
the contributions of other cultures and further recognize that theirs
is not the only path to salvation. Suffice it to say, until these
things have been corrected, that to label such endeavors for Christ
as good works or pious activity is wrong.

Otherwise, in this modern age, those deemed with good intelligence,
who are advanced in philosophy and science, have no other choice than
to condemn these preaching activities worldwide, which seek to
destroy ethnic cultures. Mission activities need to be monitored and
the conversion agenda needs to be reconsidered.
