La continuazione di insegnamenti di questo genere rappresenta una violazione dei diritti umani e la evidenziazione della natura razzista e antisemita del nostro paese di cui il cristianesimo costituisce l’anima. Le persecuzioni antiebraiche sono la conseguenza dell’antisemitismo cristiano che ha il suo fondamento nei Vangeli e nelle opere che ad esso si ispirano, come la Divina Commedia. Deve essere messo in evidenza il legame culturale e tecnico-operativo con i vari tentativi di esclusione e di sterminio, fino alla Shoah. Certamente la Divina Commedia ha ispirato i Protocolli dei Savi Anziani di Sion, le leggi razziali e la soluzione finale.

The continuation of this sort of teaching represents a violation of human rights and the highlighting of the racist and antisemitic nature of our nation, of which Christianity comprises the soul. The anti-Jewish persecutions are the consequence of Christian anti-Semitism which has its foundations in the Gospels and in the works which are inspired by them, like
La Divina Commedia. The cultural and technical-operational link with various attempts at exclusion and extermination, concluding with the Shoah, should be put into evidence. Certainly, La Divina Commedia has inspired the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, the racial laws and the Final Solution.

These shitbags are anti-Christian hate-mongers and I for one would like to see them prosecuted under EU hate speech laws. They are attacking, in blanket terms, Christianity and Christian civilization. Oddly enough, they are defending Islam despite a wealth of anti-Semitic writings in the Islamic world.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

It does kind of feel like we should know more about how it's taught in Italian schools. - 20/03/2012 07:50:36 PM 711 Views

Isn't the fundamental basis of Christanity mutually exclusive to Judaism and Islam? - 20/03/2012 08:33:51 PM 697 Views
That's a really good point that I hadn't considered. I agree. *NM* - 22/03/2012 09:05:00 AM 316 Views
Excellent point. - 22/03/2012 11:44:36 PM 1353 Views

Not having read any Dante is kind of hurting my ability to reply to that. - 20/03/2012 10:08:52 PM 1072 Views
Odd, considering you linked the "offending passages" - 20/03/2012 11:54:34 PM 748 Views
Yes, well, I was semi-serious with the "pretending to understand Italian". - 21/03/2012 07:58:35 PM 731 Views

It was only a matter of time. I wonder, when will it end? - 20/03/2012 08:42:42 PM 1065 Views
I saw that. Seems a little misguided - 21/03/2012 07:04:06 AM 718 Views
That's the understatement of the year. - 21/03/2012 01:23:14 PM 716 Views
I think that sometimes people take "politicly correct" tooooo far... *NM* - 21/03/2012 08:20:31 AM 409 Views
