And on the same hand I can point to the wiping out of Christians on the other side of the Mediterranean by the Turks.
Read your textbook. Feudal Western Europe bombarded into Palestine to 'recover' the holy land, and they murdered everyone there. Deaths of Christians are also documented, the Patriarch lied due to his losses of land against the Abbasid Caliphate, and the killing occured after millions of lives had been lost and the Western European armies were pushing out into areas like Egypt and Jordan -- Thats when the Egyptian Mamlucks came to save the day under Suleyman.
Durrrr.
Also, Al-Andalus [Islamic Spain] was actually a haven for Jews, many were quite the doctors and stuff. Then the Crusades happen, which weren't caused by us, mind you. On the other side, the Reconquista occurs and whatever Jews and Muslims were there end up fighting against people mindlessly killing.
America is a continent
Its actually two...
With Central America being in the middle!
Oh and then have the nerve to return decades later and call the Taliban evil.
Well I find them evil myself, but the fact that such a radical group was supported by the Americans just to help their own endeavors sickens me.
Wal-mart has a little over 2 million employees world wide and 1.4 million of them are in the USA. I just started working for them part time but the instant I can find another job I am going to GTFO.
Are you BSing me? You don't think people work in sweatshops totally unaffiliated to wallmart and then send their T'shirts off for 10 Bucks to a manufacturing plant to be refurbished and sent off? Your honestly here to tell me that all those people that work in cotton textiles manufacturing has nothing to do with wallmart -- the world's largest retailer? 2 Million people is a joke, bro. WallMart's got power.
By this, you mean the US government plays little role in economic and political intervention in other countries?
Sorry, I got my point off the wrong way. I mean't the US government is too lenient on allowing big business to screw with the rest of the world. They themselves do it quite often, as well!
US, GTFO OUT OF OUR COUNTRIES!!!!
Especially those in the Middle East. The United States has more men and bases their than any other subregion of the world. Actually by last count, I think there were more there [excluding the Army fighting] in bases than there are in all of Africa.
Tell me, if American's chose to squat on our countries to 'hold their power' aren't they being imperial mothernubbers?
People say that we learn from history. I say thats a lie.
Not entirely. I think Islamic Empires have much to learn about conservatism. I believe it was their excessive conservatism that led to the Ottoman Empire's downfall, but it was also Europe's rather lengthy liberalism that led to the destruction of Africa for 500 years-present.
3) Religion cannot be defined by a geographic basis.
Wrong again, Religion can be USED to define SOMETHING by a geographic basis.
In Islam, we call it Dar Al Islam. Basically, if you've got a bunch of connected countries, bam. You create what, is
actually a term in English called "The Muslim world"
Wikipedia it!
1) Your government saw fit to neglect such things for a good while. As if I trust the media. We know you are doing something about it now but for a good while it wasn't seen as something that needed taken care of asap.
I believe that is quite true. We can't go droning the hell out of everywhere. Then again, when we do stuff we don't randomly kill innocents. America drops tons of bombs a day, where do you think they go? I understand our Government is corrupt, but our world isn't the only one. America's expectations for Government are clean, but most of the world has had trouble with keeping their Government steady. In poor regions of the Earth such as Pakistan, a clean government cannot run efficiently.
2) I know what you said. I am saying that I would bet every armor point I have that we will not have marines invading your border chasing the terrorists.
Thats what they said about Afghanistan.
Ideally, state religion is a good thing. However, sadly, we don't have too many modern examples of its success. So I can understand your point of view.
Well, all modern examples wouldn't work due to the Enlightenment period in America and Europe for democracy and equality. That spread across the world. I can argue that the laws made were based and set on Christian ideals. (Which I have nothing against that, Islam practically shares the same ones)

It doesn't matter which way you look at it.
If America was on a forum.
It would be trolling. It would also have 'Moderator' above its name.
The other Mod's would be called 'Microsoft' and 'ExxonMobil'.
Mod in training would be called 'Israel'
Banned players would be 'Muslim countries and China, although China can still use the messaging system'
And lastly, everyone else would be regular users.
