1. The case of U.S. President George Bush, Jr., infamous cranking up support for war against Saddam Hussein might come to mind immediately for many readers, but many other examples can be cited, e.g., Hendrik Verwoerd and Ian Smith for segregationist minority rule in S. Africa and Rhodesia (modern day Zimbabwe) respectively, and Kwame Nkrumah ("Seek ye first the political kingdom, and all else shall be added unto you") for a jingoistic nationalism (that eventually turned kleptomaniac) in Ghana; see M. Meredith, The State of Africa: A History of Fifty Years of Independence (New York: Free Press, 2005) for a highly readable and rightly acclaimed overview. But, of such misappropriations, the 'Christian' Hutu propaganda designed to whip up support for genocide of the minority Tutsis in Rwanda during the 1990"s must qualify as among the most pernicious ; see, e.g., Philip Gourevitch, We wish to inform you that tomorrow we will be killed with our families: Stories from Rwanda (London: Picador, 2000).
