Muhammad's ball, or: what Islam has done to the French National Team

first, sky, i know all about the "nasty things" you bitch about, having lived in various bits of the middle east for half my life. you go on and on blaming a religion for all kinds of things -- but to me there's no difference between you and someone who uses religion as an excuse for their actions. In my opinion, individuals are responsible for their own actions or inactions, and looking at religion is pretty much a waste of time. for every muslim you know that has caused problems -- oh wait, let me correct that -- for every muslim you claim you know and claim to have caused problems, i know a muslim that hasn't.

that they always blame others for their own cultural and educational failure and think they are the most prominent victim of other cultures that human history does know of

actually, most people i know, muslim or otherwise, blame others for their own failure. just look at your own countries recent history -- if we use your mode of thinking, we'd hold all germans responsible for the actions of a few. but we don't, do we? do you?

secondly, i think it's pretty hilarious that you use W Churchill to make your arguments -- the last of the great colonialists. why don't you quote what he had to say about germany, too?

ignoring the massive destruction of foreign cultures that Islam has caused (and defends until today) - the biggest, greatest, longest-lasting and most successful history of military conquest, land-taking and culture-annihilating that is recorded in the books of history.

well, like you said, it's history, and most people i know accept that. but you don't. why don't you put your hypercritical eye on the things other cultures have done? or would that mean there would need to be some self-criticism? i mean, look at what your "superior" culture has done in the last 100+ years, let alone in 500 years ago.

anyway, i don't particularly want to get in another argument with you -- we've gone over this again and again in the past -- i just want to know why, just for personal enlightenment, why do islam and immigrants rub you the wrong way so badly?
