Although there were a few examples of tolerance to Jews by Muslims when they controlled Spain and instances like modern Turkey.

Odo of Chatillon-Sur-Marne. This is an amazingly distressing quotation for most moderns. Here we have the Pope preaching genocide and ethnic cleansing. This was one of the main triggers of the bloody Crusades and is not forgotten by Muslims in the Middle East Today. As Islam has not changed a great deal in 1000 years, most Muslims assume that the same is true of Christianity and especially the popes and the Roman Catholic Church. This is one of the reasons that the Islamic world reacts so strongly when a pope makes any statement negatve about Muslims and Islam.

Billy Sunday was the most famous preacher of the day. Unlike the vast majority of white preachers, he not only preached to black audiences but exuded an atmosphere of friendliness and comfort around Blacks that amazed most. Most Black leaders thought Sunday was very good for race relations, but there were some clergy like Grimke who criticized him. Sunday was castigated by many racist whites for preaching to Blacks, but he did not go as far as to condemn or preach against racism and the discrimination of the day and he would not preach to an integrated audience. Grimke, in contrast, preached to an integrated congregation and was one of the few white clergy who did in the South. (Washington DC was then a southern, segregated city.) See {585415} for another critique of Sunday.

Jones, like many religious leaders at the time was an inveterate racist. He not only branded anyone advocating against segregation as “in opposition to God”.

The amazing thing about this quotation of 1913 is that at the end of the 20th century the Christians were again at the Muslims throats and Bosnian Muslims were being murdered and ethnically cleansed by the Roman Catholics of Croatia and the Eastern Orthodox Christians of Serbia. The hatred had persisted—the legacy of 1000 years before.

He was the first Black major News Anchor in France. The racist history of France has run to extremes. In many respects, and explicit in the French Constitution, France has been the most racially tolerant nation in Europe. However, there has always been a virulent racist minority and at times they have controlled the Government. During WWII, there were a very large group of racist Nazis who, under German occupation, collaborated and ran the Vichy government. At the time there was a substantial minority who had attained some political influence and were extremely nativist and racist against Muslims and Blacks.

Many people have believed that the Nazis introduced anti-Semitism into German society and politics. This quotation is one of the very many what show that anti-Semitism was rife in Germany before Hitler ever came to power—back to the Dark Ages. The Nazis recognized it and took advantage of it by ascribing all of Germany’s ills to the Jews, knowing full well that there was underlying public opinion that would make that a good tactic.
