Yeah, right. It wasn’t as though Europe destroyed secular anti-fundamentalist Muslim societies in Afghanistan in the 80s and recently Iraq, Libya and Syria, right? It isn’t as though Europe is still seething with hatred against Putin for stopping ISIS in Syria and ISIS allied Ukranazis in Banderastan. .It’s superfluous to point out the racism of the cartoon.
Just about all terrorist acts committed in Europe have been committed by Europeans, or those long resident in Europe. So, yes, the cartoon is bollocks.
Racism usually begins in the home.Just surprised that it was Muslim terrorists instead of folks from the old African colonies where Belgians treated them brutally, regardless of whether or not they were Hutu or Tutsi.
If the terrorists had come from Syria, the cartoon would have a point. They were born and raised in Belgium, under the kind of ghetto-ized, institutional racism that Cruz and Trump want to bring here.
Granted ISIL sucks, and no, they do NOT follow Islam themselves, but what about Serbian genocide against Muslims in Bosnia, and the sentencing of Karadzic? It is NOT all about just Muslims. Of course Christians all get along with each other, and always have, just like in Northern Ireland.
