"Holocaust" ought not be used to refer to the mass murder by the Nazi's

The word "Holocaust" is a liturgical term to refer to burnt offerings. In today's world when we hear the word "Holocaust" we think of Nazi's and gas chambers and Jews. I say this is not only a misapplication of the word "holocaust" but is also incredibly offensive to all those who died en masse alongside Jews in and out of concentration camps. 1. The word "holocaust" is an ancient term spanning all the way the early Greeks. It means whole, burnt offering. These offerings were made in ancient pagan temples usually of animals but also sometimes of grains and incense, etc. Judaism, while detesting the burnt offerings of the pagans, nevertheless had holocaust rites for their own temple and synagogues and even homes. It was part of life. If Judaism still had its temple and priests and prescribed traditions according to their scriptures- Jerusalem would be tainted by the smell of holocaust for some distance surrounding their temple. The Jews had an entire market based on temple sacrifices - holocausts. The Christian savior, Jesus, even contended with these numerous businesses based in holocaust whipping around reeds and shouting and overturning tables crying out "stop turning my father's house into a den of thieves" It wasn't until after world war 2 and the great push for the creation of Israel thousands of miles away from the Germany in Palestine that "Holocaust" began to refer really to the Jews. 2. Limiting the word "holocaust" to the suffering of the Jews is excessively offensive to other demographics that lost millions of people to Nazi concentration camps and ideologies. Catholics claim 4 million lost as a result of Nazism. Ask any catholic who belongs to the Militia Immaculata how they feel about St. Maximilian Kolbe and his time in the concentration camps. Why would they not get politically correct access to the liturgical term just like the Jews? It's clear - the term was used for a political agenda being the creation of Israel by the international community in the nation of Palestine. Thats another debate. The point is in 2014 - the word "holocaust" is exclusive to the loss of the european Jews. I would ask whoever would rise to this challenge to show why that is proper in the spirit of truth. Why is the word "holocaust" not applied to every horrible mass murder - especially given its foundations are again pagan Greek. I think words are an important aspect of who we are individually and collectively. When words are abused or reassigned meaning for the satisfaction of ulterior motives, suffering occurs. The negation will be responsible for supporting the use of the word "holocaust" as it is commonly used today referring to the genocidal events performed by the Nazi's against those in Judaism. I am asking anyone to see this to not look at my position as one that is "holocaust denying" its not. This is not a review or a debate of whether people in the estimated numbers we were told actually were murdered. This is about language and the effects. Friends, words should be carefully treated and I am asking each of you to use the word "holocaust" in its proper contexts, liturgy.
