It's an insult to call those organizations as Islamic and not mention the fact that Iran and other nations have been struggling for years to put an end to it. Media will always point out the most negative perspective when it comes to this religion. The reasons as to why, I mentioned earlier.
It is not an insult to claim the Middle East is more advanced than the west? You sure can dish it out . . .

That was not during the American Revolution. I suggest you read more. Furthermore, Moroccans were also the first to attack U.S. merchant ships. I'm pretty sure they were not protecting U.S. ships so much as abiding by a treaty. I could be wrong, though. I have not researched the Barbary Wars to any great degree. I can assure you, though, this did not happen during the American Revolution. France protected colonial merchants at that time.

That is really a partial truth. Did you know that the Vietnamese were slaves for at least decades, possibly centuries (You google it for me. ), before we showed up? There was a reason to fight, people just always choose the wrong one.

Christianity. You know Jews and Christians hated each other for a very long time. What makes you think atheists, as a group (there really is no group, just hypothetically), encourage ethnic cleansing? You have been conversing with me for hours. Do I give you the impression that I would encourage such a thing?

That is a very astute statement.

What the fuck are you talking about?

Wait, wasn't that your original position? Why the fuck have we been carrying on if you agree with me?

I know. It is horrible.

I don't know much about Iran, but there has never been a country that fully respected human rights, whatever those are.
