This thread is increasingly getting embarrassing, not that it wasn’t already to being with. Some people really need to read proper History books before making any sluggishly ignorant remarks.

Martin Luther King was a Pastor for goodness sake. How can you say Christianity had no influence on his agenda? There were many Civil Rights Groups and leaders fighting for the cause long before King appeared on the scene, but what made King achieve the breakthrough was his ability to use Christianity to appeal to the white conscious. He was very effective in highlighting religion as a common ground between blacks and white and his whole idea of ‘forgiveness’ was deeply rooted in Christianity. There are plenty of Biblical references and illusions in his speeches, sermons and interviews. In fact look no further than his all time famous ‘I Have a Dream Speech’ to find your answer. Why do you think FBI and Hoover exclaimed ‘we got him’ when they taped all evidence regarding his numerous extra martial affairs - that was one ground breaking opportunity to not just discredit but to completely assassinate his image of all righteous Christian ‘preacher’.

In regards to Gandhi, I’m actually quite interested research the origins of his image as a pop culture political icon. As far as I’m concerned, Atlee’s government and all the officials in India hated him more than Jinnah! And no, it was not because of his policy of non-violence or demand for independence.

That directed to me? Because I referred to Mandela and his roots.
