Hell, one can find LOTS of evil anywhere if you take individual 
sentences entirely out of context, or use malicious translations of 
figures of speech. For example, Abraham Lincoln's statement "Four score 
and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new 
nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all 
men are created equal." can be translated as:

"With 4 knife cuts, seven years ago, our male parents took with them on 
this continent a new nation, where they could fuck anybody they wanted 
based on the theory that males were superior to females."
