900 years ago, Christians were crusading across Europe and slaughtering tens of thousands in religiously motivated militant action. Furthermore, Christian European colonization of the Arab world is what led to any modern notion of resentment against Europe or the West. Prior to this, Muslim militant action was no different than all of the religiously-motivated conflicts of the rest of the world; nearly all conflict involved or invoked religion, and conflict at the time was dominated by large, oppressive empires; everyone was fighting. Your world view is poisoned by centuries of this conflict and by the West's own perceived divine authority. US Generals were calling the war in Iran "God's divine plan". So your attempts to paint this ideology as belonging to Muslims, and to equate several distinct cultural issues as one, only belies the extreme level of ignorance in which you're operating. And there are around ~2bil followers of both Christianity and Islam. Islam is not a "minority religion". Did you get your facts from the back of a Fox News-sponsored cereal box? |
