But what kind of category is the West, and when and why did it become fundamental for intellectual discourse? Inventing the West P.2.

The rise of the West as a concept came with Oswald Spengler's The Decline of the West. Next Anti-colonial political ideologies took up the Russian framework in the twentieth century: for example, Gustave Von Grunebaum, in his 1965 Modern Islam: The Search for Cultural Identity, claims that Arab and other third-world nationalists are ''taking the road the Russians took little more than a century ago" Inventing the West P.8.

The institution of the modern state and the creation of Belgium as such, depends on the co-existence of many “nations” as multiple sources of transcendent credibility.

When Bosnia-Herzegovina gained its independence in 1992, armed conflict, and then a genocidal war that involved the whole former SFRY region, erupted among all the groups.

Where on 11 October 2007 the BBC reported 'Dirty War' trial puts spotlight on Church; we  instead will be able to point out why an ideological affinity with Hitler became possible, and in the case of the Vatican-- had to do with political self interest. The Vatican’s War P.2.

In Mystici Corporis Christi of 1943, the Vatican indicated  that if Jews did not convert, their destiny layout of the reach of the Church because they had broken the covenant. Thus when the Archbishop of Belgium was asked to "pls.say something" in regards to the more than twenty five thousand Jews that were incarcerated around the corner from his own palace, in order to be gassed in Auschwitz; that this was "not the Church's business".* The Vatican’s War P.3.

In 1942 Pius XII counting on a envisioned a postwar Eastern Europe anchored by a bloc of countries-a constellation like that of the AustroHungarian Empire, which earlier in the century had embraced Croatia. Hungarians, Austrians, and Croats had once been the bulwark of Europe that held off the infidel Muslim. Might not they now form a bulwark against the new infidel-the atheist Soviets? The Vatican’s War P.5.

Valkyrie the movie. After having written his own book  “The Jews,” Kaiser Wilhelm II was very enthused when reading Hitler’s Mein Kampf, and next imitated Hitler’s radicalism by writing his own book, “The Jews.” It was also the former German Emperor who allowed his youngest son Auwi to join Hitler. The wider historical background of: The Valkyrie Debate P.1.

Followed by our discussion about German Protestants, we compare sympathies for the Nazi’s among the aristocracy’s of Germany, Belgium, France, Rumania and Italy. The Valkyrie Debate P.3.

The Christian Scriptures provide ample material for the formulation of the attitudes of Protestants during the Nazi years as a means to restore and maintain Christian hope as they understood it. The Scriptures were dressed in new clothing and the new message of Hitler's Germany was laced with Biblical images and motifs. Protestant Nazi Hopes P.2.

The use of Luther by the Nazis was not a fabrication on their part. Little imagination is required to present anti Semitism through the lens of Lutheranism. The despair and anxiety produced by difficult life conditions can resurrect preexisting hatreds and prejudices toward a certain out-group, blaming the out-group for the difficult life conditions. When the socialpolitical organization is given sanction through its authority to act against the targeted group as a means to bring about relief from the difficult life conditions then the probability of mistreatment of the target group is highly elevated. Protestant Nazi Hopes P.3.

The Danish people, the Huguenot community of Le Chambon in France and perhaps a few individuals were the only Protestants who chose to stand with or for the Jews in their plight. But this was not a place most German Protestants were willing to stand, because they were engaged in their own struggle for self-fulfillment. Protestant Nazi Hopes P.4.
