Islam in Europe: perception and reality

[abaris]

Of course intention is something. That's like saying no side is ever better than the other in war because both cause civilian deaths.

No, intent is only good to pat oneself on the shoulder. Try to walk in the shoes of those being bombed. Try to imagine losing loved ones because another nation - with greatest regrets - bombed your home. Try to imagine all of that and then come back telling me, how you would feel and if intent would matter in your consideration.

This philosophical chair farting by people who never have been exposed to violence or a war zone really is leading nowhere. War isn't a philosophical matter, it's a hard and brutal reality for everyone being exposed to it. The word colateral alone is aimed at removing the blood and gore as far as possible from the ones being on the side with oh so good intents. In order to not make them reflect on what is happening and what the logical consequence is in countries where there's hardly any real chance to land a decent job or having a real perspective to begin with.
