Talk:Demonization

message: Real good article, but the tone seems to demonize the demonizers!!
I would start out by saying that all human beings have both good and evil characteristics, while demons are just evil. 
Also, the need to demonize is shown in warfare where you must make your enemy evil in order to happily kill him.

thread_title: Demonizing the demonizers

message: "Arguably, Jews have historically been the subject of demonization more than any other group."
Arguably?  This is clearly an editorial comment and has no citation.  While many in western cultures may see evidence of this, I'm sure that muslims would feel that they have been the result of demonization as well.  In addition, the number of Jews that died in the Nazi holocaust is dwarfed by the systematic persecution, marginalization, and slaughter of indigenous peoples of the Americas and Africa.  The Nazi holocaust is also dwarfed by the actions of the Japanese during WWII where tens of millions of Asians were killed.
The author of these comments seems to have a bias that is firmly rooted in western culture.

replies: text: Part of the horror of the Holocaust was the specific targeting of an "ethnic" group for extinction. The Japanese Empire's killings were not calculated to destroy any particular group, but rather simply to establish their total control over the conquered people(s); not the same thing. --Orange Mike 15:52, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

text: Did you have a point? It must be clouded by your personal remarks about Orange Mike's intelligence. Perhaps you could explain yourself a bit more clearly and this can be a discussion instead of a bout of name calling. If not, kindly keep your opinions to yourself.

thread_title:  Merge suggestion: [[Folk devil]] into [[Demonization]] 

message: Demons are the disembodied spirits of the fallen Watchers, nephilim, and gerbers (Annunaki). (Genesis 6:4, Daniel 4:17; Matthew 28:4) In the Book of Enoch I (Ethiopic), chapters 15 and 16, the bodies of the Watchers return to the earth, and their souls are condemned to wander the earth and contend with man. They are demons because of thier wickedness. The Watchers represent all the gods of the Levante pantheon and the "gods that came down." (Legends of the Jews) Zecharia Sitchin refers to them as the Nibiruans that came to earth to harvest gold and created mankind for worker slaves.(Sitchin, The Lost Book of Enki, 2002)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.59.175.28 (talk) 12:43, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
