Human Rights Watch has issued a report about DNA collection in Xinjiang province in China:
Chinese police have started gathering blood types, DNA samples, fingerprints and iris scans from millions of people in its Muslim-majority Xinjiang province to build a massive citizen database, according to report by activist group Human Rights Watch.
The report, published Wednesday, said officials are collecting the data from citizens between the ages of 12 and 65 years old using a variety of methods. Authorities are gathering DNA and blood types through free medical checkups, and HRW said it was unclear if patients were aware that their biometric data was being collected for the police during these physical exams.
According to the report, citizens authorities have flagged as a potential threat to the regime, and their families—named "focus personnel"—are forced to hand over their DNA regardless of age.
So far, 18.8 million citizens have participated in the medical checkups, called "Physicals for All" by the government, according to an article by a state news agency Xinhua on November 1.

The Crusades only happened because muslims were being abusive to christians. Lots of christian violence is a reaction to muslim violence.
Christians do not have a requirement to continuously invade other lands and do violence to non-belivers. Muslims do have such a requirement.
Muhammed is considered the perfect man. He had slaves, he married a 6-year-old and placed his penis between her thighs, he had sex with that girl at age 9, he was a common highway bandit, he murdered... these are not the traits of Jesus.
Your time frame is also silly. Recent decades are far more relevant.

No. The Aztec sky fairies demand that I invade your home, drag out your children, bring them to an altar and slit their throats to appease them so that they won't destroy the world. This is objectively worse even than Islam whose sky fairy merely demands that I enslave non-believers.

When the chinese purge is finished on ethnic grounds, all we will have left are mostly Han, and we won't have to feel TOO bad about knocking that 2 billion down to 300 million or less.
Just remember to start with the top 1 percent this time, and not the bottom 15 percent like they did during Mao's era.

Curious. Why you capitalize "white"? It's just a color. And, very very few people are "white" anyway. I'm sure as hell not. I've met a few who are very white - places like Denmark - but if you did a spectrum scan on their asses, they probably aren't white either. Some strange flavor of off-white maybe. Think you're white? Go get a good quality white shirt, and lay it against your skin. Nope, you ain't white. Some washed out tint of red, or pink most likely. Me, I have some pigment in my skin, so I don't look pink, or blue, or whatever color blood might show through. Wonder what Google might offer on the subject of "flesh color" - fuck Crayola they call it "peach" now, I think.
http://www.dictionary.com/browse/flesh-color [dictionary.com]
Usage alert
While flesh color originally meant the skin tone of white people, that meaning has been criticized as exclusionary and is now considered offensive. In fact, the term is no longer commonly used without qualifying it with a specific hue, such as tan flesh color, peach flesh color, or black flesh color. The word nude has historically been used to describe a similar hue approximating a white person's skin color and has been criticized for the same reason.
noun
1.
(no longer in common use; now considered offensive) a yellowish pink or pinkish cream color (approximating the skin color of a white person).
2.
a color that falls within the spectrum of human skin colors.
Origin of flesh color
1605-1615
First recorded in 1605-15; def. 1 from approximating the color of a white person's skin

Since I'm not politically correct, I'm not to worried about all the SJW shit associated with the color. Let's see what else Google can dredge up . . . yeah, this is a better page: https://www2.palomar.edu/anthro/adapt/adapt_4.htm [palomar.edu]
Human skin color is quite variable around the world. It ranges from a very dark brown among some Africans, Australian Aborigines, and Melanesians click this icon to hear the preceding term pronounced to a near yellowish pink among some Northern Europeans. There are no people who actually have true black, white, red, or yellow skin. These are commonly used color terms that do not reflect biological reality.
Skin color is due primarily to the presence of a pigment called melanin click this icon to hear the preceding term pronounced, which is controlled by at least 6 genes. Both light and dark complexioned people have melanin. However, two forms are produced--pheomelanin click this icon to hear the preceding term pronounced, which is red to yellow in color, and eumelanin click this icon to hear the preceding term pronounced, which is dark brown to black. People with light complexioned skin mostly produce pheomelanin, while those with dark colored skin mostly produce eumelanin. In addition, individuals differ in the number and size of melanin particles. The latter two variables are more important in determining skin color than the percentages of the different kinds of melanin. In lighter skin, color is also affected by red cells in blood flowing close to the skin. To a lesser extent, the color is affected by the presence of fat under the skin and carotene click this icon to hear the preceding term pronounced, a reddish-orange pigment in the skin. Hair color is also due to the presence of melanin.
Melanin is normally located in the epidermis click this icon to hear the preceding term pronounced, or outer skin layer. It is produced at the base of the epidermis by specialized cells called melanocytes click this icon to hear the preceding term pronounced. These cells have photosensitive receptors, similar to those in the eye, that detect ultraviolet click this icon to hear the preceding term pronounced radiation from the sun and other sources. In response, they produce melanin within a few hours of exposure.

Hell, man, I'm part color blind, and even I can see that I'm not "white". If I weren't color blind, I might even tell you what color I am. But, ya know what? I never CARED enough to even ask anyone precisely what color I am. I guess I could take a photo of my arm, and play around with something like Gimp, and find out exactly what color it is - but if I move the camera a little bit, I'll probably find another color. But, what DIFFERENCE does it make? Does less pigment magically increase my IQ by ten points? Does more pigment make me stronger? Hell no - it's just a color. Or, colors, in my case. My extremely pale scar tissues have given me some wisdom - hmmmm - maybe there IS something to that higher IQ bullshit?
Anyway - fuck all you "white" people. Your constant refrains that white is somehow good gets pretty tiresome. And, your ain't even white!!
