"The massacre of 21 Copts at a New Year's Eve mass has been called 'a watershed moment'.

What if, instead of slavery, the United States had murdered all of the African Americans? What if, instead of relocating some Native American tribes, they were completely wiped out? This annihilation is essentially what happened with the Armenians in the early 1900's and the Kurd …

A large part of the people who inhabited it were Armenians - it had once been at the heart of a great Armenian empire. Today there are almost none. The only two buildings still standing there are mosques. Of the dozen or so churches, there is no trace.

The big question of course is why should the world be forced to remember? Simply because the Holocaust is not a Jewish affair. It touched all of mankind.
