Incredible to see the people who have zero contact with extremist Muslims or familiarity with what the Quran and hadiths actually say or understand Iran in any way talking about how Iran is the victim or burying their heads in the sand with their coexist bumper stickers acting like we can just be nice and everyone will get along.

>extremist Muslims or familiarity with what the Quran and hadiths

You can easily find stuff in the Bible and the Torah or Talmud that would shock you. And Israel even acts on the latter. But conveniently it's just the Muslim world, one beset with colonial extraction for centuries, that you care about. Not the people in the US who supported wars killings hundreds of thousands over the last few decades for religious reasons. Hmm.

Surely you mean on the side of extractors? The Ottoman Empire practiced mass movement of people (sürgün), basically settler colonialism; earlier Umayyad and Abbasid caliphates are among the largest empires in history, and their population was mass converted to Islam.

The Ottoman Empire did indeed subject a large portion of the Muslim world to colonial extraction.

"We"? As far as I know US is not part of that region. Also I remember current president was campaigning on not starting wars. And yet here we are.

With intercontinental weapons and shipping, we're sorta all part of every region. In Zeeland I'm literally as far from New Zealand as humanly possible, but if another SARS pops up there or a war breaks out there, it's very likely to affect me in some way

So I guess we're on the same anti-war side, but for opposite reasons?

Bro just one more war in the middle east bro it'll be good this time bro they're terrorists bro just believe me bro

It feels disingenuous to talk of extremist muslims when we have extremist jews bombing 4 countries in 2 years, and committing a genocide.

Iran has killed a lot less civilians than Israel and it isn't even close. I'm much less worried about them getting the bomb than I am about the fact Israel already has it.
