Dennis Prager writes<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The Journal\u2019s editor-in-chief, Rob Eshman, recently wrote a column under the headline \u201cMorgenthau\u2019s Children,\u201d about the film \u201cThe Promise,\u201d whose subject is the Armenian genocide, and he addressed the subject of genocide in general. It was important to remind \u2014 or inform \u2014 people about the lesser-known genocides of the 20th century and the present century.<\/p>\n

He noted the following genocides:<\/p>\n

The Armenian genocide
\n\u201cThose in Syria in Iraq\u201d
\nThe ISIS extermination of the Yazidis
\n\u201cThe failed state of Somalia\u201d
\nThe Myanmar government\u2019s \u201cpersecution, deportation and starvation\u201d of the Rohingya
\nBut there is a word missing from all the genocides mentioned in Rob\u2019s column.<\/p>\n

That word is \u201cMuslim.\u201d<\/p>\n

Every one of the genocides listed \u2014 with the exception of Myanmar (formerly Burma), where the victims are Muslims \u2014 was, or is being, committed by Muslims.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t believe Rob intentionally omitted the fact that the perpetrators of all but one of the annihilations was\/is Muslim. The fact is that with all the attention paid to the Armenian genocide, one always hears that the Armenians were mass murdered by the \u201cOttoman Empire\u201d or the \u201cOttoman Turks\u201d or the \u201cTurkish regime\u201d \u2014 but they are never identified as Muslims.<\/p>\n

Rob rightly suggested that readers go to GenocideWatch.com for more information.<\/p>\n

I took his advice, and here are headlines I saw on the site\u2019s front page:<\/p>\n

\u201cHolocaust museum condemns \u2018torture and killing of gay men\u2019 in Chechnya\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cViolent Mortality in the Darfur Genocide\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSyria: \u2018Glimmers of humanity\u2019 overshadowed by brutality of attacks on civilians\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHow Germany used Islam during World War I\u201d<\/p>\n

(Other headlines included news about Brazil, Auschwitz, Rwanda and Cambodia.)<\/p>\n

Again, almost all genocide discussion was about Islam.<\/p>\n

One of the least truthful major statements in the history of the modern American presidency was that of President George W. Bush, when he famously declared after 9\/11 that \u201cIslam is a religion of peace.\u201d<\/p>\n

I understand why Bush felt he had to say and keep repeating that line. But there is no excuse for all the academics and journalists who say it. Islam was a religion of war and violence from its inception, when Muslims forcibly converted surrounding tribes and then all of North Africa to Islam.<\/p>\n

Muslims perpetrated the greatest slaughter of one group in history \u2014 the slaughter of about 80 million Hindus during the thousand-year history of Muslim rule in India. They even boasted about this slaughter by naming a large area of present-day of Afghanistan \u201cHindu Kush,\u201d which means \u201cHindu-Slaughter.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
