Arab nations were fine before colonialism.
So we're talking about, what, the 16th Century at the latest?
Sorry that the Muslims are the only ones getting things done where the soft Christians failed.
If not for the Europeans meddling in affairs Jews and Muslims would still have fairly close relations. Remember that at the end of the day is was Christian Europe that committed the Holocaust, started two world wars, and more. Not USA, not Muslims...Also, Africans, Muslims, Arabs, had no trouble with Jews mostly until the creation of Israel. Another colonialist British move. How convenient.
Speaking of convenient, are they getting things done or are they helpless victims being divided and driven to centuries of hatred by the West?
You have made a lot of noise and fury about your opposition to progressives the last couple years, but as I keep pointing you, then you bite at every low hanging bait social justice warriors like Nintex throw out with the same red meat ad hoc chest beating agency denial they do.
19th and 20th centuries in particular which helped fuel the creation of extremist sects such as Salafism/Wahhabism. Are Muslims to blame for the spread of it? Absolutely, especially Saudi Arabia, but my critique of western countries criticizing Muslim countries which they colonized for centuries and then wondering "why are they like this?" still stands. This complete disregard, lack of reading the room that western countries employ in their will to control the world repeatedly is self creating process. The War on Terror is Exhibit E at this point. It's the west, if anything, that lacks agency in its crimes and it continuously points a proverbial finger after shoving it in peoples ass and yelling at them for having the audacity for making their finger smelly.
Hm, fair critique but a result of confusion as I'm talking about completely different things. "Getting things done" is referencing American Muslims. I'm making fun of how Christians live in a so-called Christian nation but they complain all the time about their cultural relevance. They say America and the western world were born of Christian values (which is questionable, especially during and post-enlightenment) while at the same time complaining we've lost our way as they also highlight how free to do what they want. If you promote a hyper individualistic society you get a hyper individualistic society yet conservatives and Christians are mad about this despite claiming it's the society
they created. You see this all the time among the western American and European nationalists and conservatives. On one hand,"it's only in the west where people can marry whom they want, if you tried that in the middle east you'd be thrown off a building" and then the other,"they are destroying the family" or "we live in a society of nihilism" as they lose the cultural tide to purple-haired lesbians and nihilistic atheists. Meanwhile, Muslims are their last line of defense repeatedly on several fronts as they fight nationalist/conservatives battles
for them including things like teaching LGBTQ Pride in schools. Examples include
here and
here. You can use Piers Morgan as the perfect example of the conflict in interest. Muslims in America and the west live a completely different life than Muslims elsewhere, especially the ones in Palestine, Iraq, and more. It's two different contextual circumstances based on culture and region. It's also a fairly complicated issue.
You should just ask me to expound rather than cast aspersions which just naturally makes me guarded and defensive and then discussion doesn't happen further because you're just pointing out "you're this" "you're that" instead of just simply asking what I meant. Work on your communication.
