Have you read the Lucifer Principle? In his chapter on "Are there
Killer Cultures?" He says Islamic cultures are barbaric, training
future generations to be killers. He claims that according to the
Koran the man who fails to make wide slaughter in the land of the
infidels is committing a sin. Sounds like anti-Islamic racism to me.
Or should we say that a country that had a Manifest Destiny to
exterminate the Indians was a "Killer Culture"
