He refers to Deschner who has not been translated.
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->© He claims that the Orthodox Churches, because they represent
'Eastern Christianity', are tolerant. One could interpret his claims
in a charitable way and assume that he is saying the following:
somehow, 'Eastern Christianity' is more prone to being more tolerant
in civic life than 'Western Christianity'. I disagree with this claim
on historical grounds. The history of 'Eastern Christianity' is every
bit as violent as the history of the 'Western Christianity'. [For
those who know German, I would suggest the following work of Karlheinz
Deschner. He has so far written 6 volumes of the history of
Christianity, called, Kriminalgeschichte des Christentums. The title
translates as "The Criminal History of Christianities" and the first
six volumes are about 'Eastern Christianity'.]<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
