Dawkins admits to false statement.

Maybe you need to study history:"According to Armenian historian Marci Ranzer, much of the tension between the Turks and the Armenians arose during the late 1800s. This tension was prompted by a desire for more civil rights for the Armenians, which the sultan viewed as a threat."As far as Sudan is considered the combination of decades of drought, desertification, and overpopulation are among the causes of the Darfur conflict, because the Baggara nomads searching for water have to take their livestock further south, to land mainly occupied by non-Arab farming communities. It is over land and resources. Here is a quote from someone who actually knows: "The root of the Darfur conflict is a struggle over controlling an environment that can no longer support all the people who must live on it" - Environmentalist Wangari Maathai, 2004 Nobel Peace Prize winner. I see Dawkins isn't the only one ignorant when it comes to history.

except you're totally ignoring the religious motivations (and literature) of the genocide, which are massively important when it came to a willingness to kill Armenians off


and what happened in the late 1800s was only *1* aspect of the entire genocide, the more modern motivations were heavily religious in nature

Amazing how some try and rewrite history to fit what they believe. Anyone who has studied history knows this is how it is.

Pretty obvious that you guys are just trolls and not interested in any real conversation.

Pretty obvious that you guys are only interested in spreading lies.

It's true these conflicts had little to do with religion. Especially the conflict in Sudan. Too many people, not enough resources is the problem there.
