I appreciate your point but people that make this argument forget that philosophical differences in human beings don't exist. They do. The media and America, are relatively new concepts. This doesn't change the fact that Islam had rift in its religion, and that the two different sects had bouts of violence. Not just Islam, all religions. This happened before the concept of propaganda as we know it happened. Before a media existed. I can cite you many examples.
I don't buy this American propaganda and media shyt. It conveniently ignores much of history and the principles of philosophical differences that govern human interactions.
The religions fought, breh? What kind of weapons did they use?
I imagine it being a lot like when the US fought Iraq. But was that the US fighting? Or was that you fighting?
You must truly think me a fool if you think I'm going to believe you aren't affected by how the media has spun things. Not to mention a potential need to justify certain actions. And I'm not judging, I'll be the first to tell you I have no authority to do that. But I'm trying to show you why some might think your position is somewhat biased.
Human beings like bad news. For some reason, we crave it. It's why every war is recorded in detail, and the news is flooded with crimes. The only time you see a Muslim on the news nowadays is for something crazy. So now you have this image of "Muslim = crazy" embedded in your subconscious. It's natural.
But use your intellect. You say you know Muslims, how many of them are violent? How many of them want to kill you? If you're going to generalize at least use your own data and not some fabricated propaganda that you claim to be immune to but are obviously affected by.
