Okay, I'll bite.

Of course you won't because you made a well thought-out observation.

Contrast that to this generic, baseless statement:

> Arabs and Muslims will blow the fuck out of each other's sons and daughters without a second thought.

That is a not only a very simplistic view, it is also incorrect. It puts blame on some inherent personality trait of Arabs and "muslims". Anyone with a minuscule ability to critically think can see how this parallels statements like "black people have less intelligence". The OP is not bringing a new opinion; they are trolling.

I would be more interested in seeing a thought out analysis by the OP, that takes into account the complex geopolitical landscape of the last 100 years, including armament of these so called terrorists by the US, drone strikes that kill Afghan and Pakistani children, etc.
