In the eyes of German catholics (40% of the population), it legitimized hitler.

as for the results of the Concordant, see http://nobeliefs.com/nazis.htm

BTW the Lutherans , about 60% of the population, also hated Jews, as did Martin Luther. They of course have come a long long way towards changing.

For the catholic church, they just fund a new enemy – our gay friends and neighbors.

Of course Islam oppresses women. Why aren’t men covered, hmmm? Why don’t men have headscarves and full costumes covering their sacred features that are supposed to be for their wives’ eyes only? Oh right, because Islam was cooked up by a man, and men are exempt from such expectations. And why so few women leaders? We in the West have had plenty. When I was a child a Pakistani family pulled their son out of our elementary school because all of the teachers were female at the school were. Yeah, those “oppressed” Western women who teach children reading, writing and arithmetic! They need to be liberated by Islam, right? If a woman is indeed equal, apparently the information that comes out of her is better explained by a man because……well, the Quran says so.

But is it any surprise? All three of the Abrahamic monotheistic religions were born from primitive desert cultures whose views of the world continue to become antiquated, stale and ridiculous as time goes on. You are free to follow any religion you want, just don’t blame “decadent Western culture”, because you were clearly too weak and insecure to embrace Western culture.
