i'm not implying anything. i'm saying exactly what i said, in as many words as i said it. the fact that you can read the quoted text and find an implication that killing jews was the "exclusive" impetus for WWII is terrifying.

again, i'll quote: "areligious governments have murdered, tortured, starved, and ethnically cleansed on similar or greater scales than religious governments. there's no crime attributable to the crusaders that is not equally attributable to the nazis. religion has never been a necessary or sufficient component of mass murder"
