From day one of the first century C.E., the common era for all world faiths and non-religions, the Great Commission to send out missionaries on missions to dominant Earth with one sole absolutist law religion started rival holy wars with scorched Earth still running red from bloody fields and war urban zones.
Dear Ones,
This menace "in God's name" was especially cruel to children in mission schools behind closed doors and in untold numbers of unmarked graves. Students couldn't even wear braids. Harsh punishment resulted as well as suicides as students were forced to be sent to places like the "Indian" school at Carlisle, PA. Some of them ran away and walked all the way home to Montana and other western states.
The first American holocaust was that of the attempt to exterminate indigenous people through the killing off of their mainstay, the bison today called buffaloes. This genocide included biological germ warfare, giving contaminated small pox blankets from hospitals to First Americans–a corruption called "Indians" –as Christopher Columbus named these indigenous people.
So when arrogant politicians beat war drums over other people's religions being radical extremist they forget their own history of missionaries on missions to convert massive brutality among indigenous people and their cultures throughout the world.
No one truthfully can deny the hateful impact on Earth through three of the most genocidal movements, a complete paradox: The Great Commission, Manifest Destiny and the Final Solution. And we all know the mass devastation that followed and continues to disrupt and bloody beautiful Earth. Religious fanatics have their own blind spots and ignore their own historic black eyes. As First Americans have always said, "No one owns Earth. Earth owns us" from dust to eternity.
