I agree there are 2 sides to the story. I also agree that there has been conflict between Europeans (and more recently in history Americans as well) and the people in the middle east. I also agree that we are far from blameless for the current relationship between the region of the middle east, their people, and Muslims in general.
However, no matter how we got to the current situation, we must understand and accept the new reality. The muslim population always carries with it a certain percentage of a radical element. When muslim population grows the radical element grows with it. We have seen throughout history what happens when the radical element reaches critical mass in a country. It always leads to violence, desstabilization, and terror. This has been happening for a long time and is well documented. I believe it was Indonesia back in the 18th century when the British army soaked their bullets in pigs blood and used those bullets to execute radical Islamic terrorists. They had peace for quite some time when they started that. These radical muslims hide in a community of an apathetic muslim population. These "nonviolent muslims" do not exterminate the snakes within their own ranks and seem quite happy to make them our problem as they continue to cry racism and oppression whenever they are lumped into the same category as the fellow muslims they allow to hide within their communities.
Make no mistake, radical Islamic terrorists are cancer cells hiding in the sickened populations of muslims. That cancer has now metastasized due to the world wide spread of Muslim men in the refugees crisis and will be systemic shortly if it isn't already. Sometimes when you have lung cancer you have to take the whole lung out because you can't successfully target just the cancer cells. Nice to live after the surgery though.
You want people to quit lumping radical and non radical muslims into the same category? Then get the muslim world to rid themselves of these radical a $$hats themselves without making it our problem. I want to see a world wide movement within the muslim world denouncing these radicals with fervor. I want to see muslim armies marching on the terrorist f@cKS so it's not our sons, fathers, daughters and mothers dying at the hands of these numbnuts. Most of all I want to see the so called "peaceful muslims" everyone keeps telling about to start winning the damn PR war against the radicals. What I have seen so far translates into a limp dick and too little too late.
That is all.
Bingo!
