Subject: Re: the worldliness of sacred texts/ C.J.S. Walia's posting/


I think that this was sourced from http://www.landoverbaptist.org ["Where the Worthwhile Worship and the Unsaved Are Unwelcome"] 

There are some very um...interesting wallpapers available http://www.landoverbaptist.org/wallpapers/. 

It does pose the basic question [a tired one, I know] about the rôle of religious beliefs in maintaining prejudice. C.J.S. Walia's posting could easily fit within the satire that is Landover Baptist, but appears to have been written seriously. 

Nonetheless the posting did raise an issue which I would like to ask, as it touches on my idea for my history honours thesis- what contemporary work is available on rape in war as a means of subjugation of the enemy and as a means of bonding the rapists together?
