Definition of Genocide
Article 2
In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts
committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national,
ethnical,
racial or religious group, as such:
(a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to
bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.
So dear Holocaust Denier Brown, why were only Christians subjected to mass
killings, torture, beatings, death marches, rape, infanticide and
kidnappings by the Turks and why were they driven out of their land and
homes?
This is undeniable GENOCIDE and Gordon Brown is a Holocaust Denier just
like
George Bush.
