what the hell does the holocuast have to do with fundemantalist Christians?.. the Nazis werent fundies or even really Christian..



Indeed Nazi ideology was not based on Christianity. Hitler was deeply religious, but not in a Christian way. He believed in a concept he called "providence".

Still, Christian traditions have a lot to do with the holocaust. The whole concept of Jews being a wicked people who do not deserve to live goes back to the 11th century, the age of the crusades. The Second crusade failed to accomplish its goals, and as a sort of compensation killed all Jews in the cities on their way back. Since then, jewish pogroms and massacres regularly occured in most Christian cities. The only countries where jews could live in peace were countries under Islamic rule.
