You clearly don't have the capacity to read and understand simple English and only see what you want to see.

You were making the argument that Muslims attack us because we attacked them first... When the USA became independent from Britain the North African States immediately started attacking American shipping and selling American crews as slaves. The US marine corps song refers to the period when they refer to the "shores of Tripoli". So this idea that muslims attack us because we attacked them first is ludicrous...

 

Your signature refers to "speaking from personal experience". What experience do you have of living in the Middle East? I spent 6 months in a boat in Iraqi waters. I worked two years in the Middle East as an engineer. I'd hate to think you were commenting on subjects you had little knowledge of.

Just a guess but I imagine you weren't particularly welcome over there were you?

In the Middle East you don't have politicians constantly telling Arabs how good immigration is. It's made fairly clear you're there to do a job then you're to leave... Nothing wrong with that either.

 

In the Middle East it's quite racist. At the top of the tree you have the local Arabs, then you have the Americans and British, then you have the white Europeans, then you have the Indians/ Filipinos then the Africans. To show you how racist it is the Arabic word for "slave" is the same for "African"...

 

Out there you can get deported if you make a rude gesture to the wrong person when driving. It's something that us Westerners should consider...
