There's more xenophobia in Europe now than there was anti-semitism in Europe during ww2.
Europe always loves a scapegoat. They can't get away with Jews anymore, so they use Americans as scapegoats.

What a horribly inaccurate thing to say. She was prosecuted for a murder, resulting from Satanic sex games/rituals. Now that only decrees that Knox, herself, was guilty of being interested in the Satanic rituals, not that she was being treated as a modern day with. Being a witch is not a criminal offence (to my knowledge), but murdering another person is.

Claiming that Europe thinks of Americans today, the way that the Nazi's thought of Jews during the holocaust, is offensive to just about everyone apart from Americans, and I would hope Americans on here would think that would be a wholly inappropriate comparison too.

I haven't really been following the case much but I thought it was because of her and her b/fs fingerprints found on her under wear and also on a brush in her b/fs flat? Also, wasn't their alibis abit dodgy?

There were ZERO finger prints found from Amanda. There were a million finger prints found from the other person accused though, the african Rudee Guede, who also had been accused of knife crimes before,. BUt instead of focusing on him, they chose to focus on Amanda, who had no finger prints at all, and there was no forensic evidence at all, but they convicted her because they accused her of being a satanic WITCH.

It was literally a witch hunt, on Americans. "those cocky americans, they must be evil, so Amanda must be evil" it was literally no different than the Salem Witch Trials. It showed the true face of Europe.

Ohh, she's American and pretty, so she MUST be EVIL.

I doubt that was the case Alex.

ok, then explain why she was convicted then???

i'm open to hearing your point of view. (bear in mind that she was later aquitted because there was no forensic evidence against her.... but i can't wait to hear your theory as to why she was convicted in the first place)

She has been proven innocent now, but i really wanna hear your theory as to why she was convicted first??

Well, as I said I haven't really been following the case. The only thing I read about it was this :

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worl...asons-why.html

and to me the 5 reasons why she is guilty seem more likely then the ones for why she is innocent.

So you think she was guilty? name one piece of evidence she was guilty please. She was eventually aquitted because there is not a single shred of evidence against her.

If you have evidence against her, i'd like to hear it, and you should tell it to the italian courts, cause they couldn't find any evidence against her eigther.

She was (wrongly) convicted of murder, not of witchcraft. People are wrongly convicted of all manner of crimes, all the time.

Some of the most heinous miscarriages of justice involve the USA. I see Haley Barbour has just released a load of convicted murders - just because he can.

Don't confuse Amanda Knox with Christine O'connell.

It's not only crazy old Europe that has witchcraft issues.

i never said it was only Europe, i brought it up because people were acting like it was shocking that Africans and MIddle easterns use witchcraft against people, when actually it still happens in Europe too. Did you forget what this thread is about? if you forget, read though the past posts please, you seem to be confused.

Persecution complex. May I ask which part of America you are from?

I've lived all over. New York, Washington DC, Virginia, Los Angeles, Santa Cruz, Montana... why? What possible relevance does where i live in America have to my statements??
Oh maybe you think i'm some ignorant conservative republican? because you think all American's that disagree with you must be rednecks right??

Sorry, i'm not a redneck. Thank you for proving my point though.

I was just curious. I thought you may be a republican, yes, but that's solely because of some historical inaccuracy's you've spouted, and coincides with the republican persecution complex of us godless, librul, socialist, Nazi's over here in Europe.

I love American politics, and I remember the health care debates when Europe was being slagged off and lied about every day in tea party events and on your so-called news channels.

There is no united hatred of America in Europe, just like there isn't a total hatred of Europe in America.

Are you seriously arguing that the widespread persecution of Jews, the genocide of 6 million of them, was less of an injustice than Amanda Knox's conviction?

I don't care to get into another debate with you so don't take this as me starting one. But I just wanted to remind you of the thread the other day where we talking about you always bringing America vs The World into thread discussions, and you said it was me taking things personal and out of context. I find this post above quite funny in regards to that, bringing a discussion about Saudi Arabia around to America vs Europe.

Strange thing that you feel the need to make things about America all the time on a majority British forum.

Edit - Just noticed you're making highly inappropriate and exaggerated accusations. Last week it was alleged racism, and this week it's Europeans attitude towards Americans is equal or worse to that of Nazi's in WW2. You are seriously messed up my friend, seriously. You're either highly sensitive or very very young.
FYI - Nazi Germany does not = "Europe". Europe is a very large continent of nationalities.
