Its just what happens in any country where Islam or Christianity has a huge amount of clout. use any excuse to get rid of completing religions; history shows this is normal, so there's nothing to see.... move a long

You sound like a bigoted atheist who doesn't have a clue about Haiti. Syncretism is an intricate part of Haitian society, this about the genetics of Haitians, not the religion(s) they follow.

Sorry mate but take a long look at the last 500 years, I think you will not find a country with a large Christian or muslem majority that hasn't been into witch killing of some description and / or persecute the odd minority religion. Its not like the Haiti is alone, the Saudi's are quite keen too. A fact of history and life rather than bigotry. I was unaware of them finding the lynching people gean

I disagree, this is a black African thing, it has little to do with Christianity or Islam. Religions have always been mixed in the Caribbean and Latin America. The Catholic Church has always turned a blind to Syncretism, because it better then having 100% non believers. That is why you have Santeria in Cuba, the Virgin of Guadalupe in Mexico, etc. It is cultural stupidity, just like the Chinese who think a bears gall bladder can treat or cure certain diseases. It's a myth that religion is the big killer, it certainly hasn't been in the last 100+ years, that has been communism.

It is cultural stupidity,

First you say it is the genetics of the Haitians, who are essentially Negroes, or more specifically transplants from Africa. Then you call someone a bigot without a clue on Haiti and then you claim it's cultural.

Culture is not governed by genes. Hair colour is. Height is. Predisposition to disease is, but not culture. Voodoo is a product of ignorance, of fear, of servitude and of poverty. The Haitians went from French owned slaves, to emotional slaves of the Catholic Church and then to slaves of a handful of elites that were approved by the French, Americans and to a lesser degree, the English. Haiti is the result of European greed that took Africans and put them on a island where they did not belong. In fact, the whites and blacks of the Carribbean have no link to the place. Voodoo is the byproduct. if the population had birth control decades ago, the population would have been manageable, but the Catholic Church forbid it. Papa Doc Duvalier governed with the full support of the USA because he was anti communist and he used Voodoo to control the population. Haiti is a lost cause, a population that doesn't belong and the disease one sees now is the product of that situation. The poverty of Haiti is a direct result of the financial penalty France imposed upon the nation when it gained its independence, Haiti had to give all of its wealth to France as compensation. Voodoo is all that the people have. It makes a living hell bearable. The only solution is to transfer all of the Haitians back to France and west Africa where they belong. Failing that, let disease do what it must to control an over population.
