******************************************
I am compiling a listing of Catholics killed by Protestants, and a
listing of "witches" burned by both is in process. Contributions to all these
lists are solicited. The rules are:
1) You must have the NAME of the person killed. If all that is known
is HOW MANY were killed, this will be acceptable.
2) You must have a DATE. Day-month-year is preferred, but month-year
or year-only is acceptable.
3) You must have a LOCATION. Town-nation is best, but nation-only is
acceptable
3) You must REFERENCE your contribution.
4) Please follow the format as you see it above.
nb: I am not, at this time, compiling a list of Jews killed for their faith.
To list the six million names from the Holocaust of World War II alone
would be too much, and beyond comprehension. They are NOT forgotten!
Neither are the martyred Baha'is in Iran, nor the Muslim/Christian/Jew
problems current in the Mid-East.....nor the Muslim/Hindu troubles, nor
the........well, add your own here.
