Even the British colonizers and the Irish colonied look the same but for the purpose of oppression, the colonizers have to find something else to justify themselves by their own rules, and their own standards to dominate their Irish colonied. The comparison of the native Irish to American Indians was what they did for justification of conquest (p487). Here is what these people thought of the Indians: “The Indian is hewn out of rock…[wrote Francis Parkman] He will not learn the art of civilization, and he and the forest mush perish together” (p488). Sin is the only reason that placed this wicked thought in the colonizers’ minds. Because of their sinful nature, these people abuse their God-given gifts to play god on other people who are also created in the image of God.
