Islam in Europe: perception and reality

[abaris]

Agreed. We made mistakes, and it is costing us now. That, of course, doesn't make us as bad as our enemies... which should be clear to any thinking person (and no, philosophy isn't necessary here, but apparently it could help).

Yeah, but you can frame that argument, hang it over your bed and feel good about it. It doesn't matter. For you to constantly repeat it either points to a complete inability to walk in the shoes of the ones being on the receiving end or to a complete unwillingness to do so.

It's something for the garbage bin of reality.
