Islam in Europe: perception and reality

[abaris]

So yeah, I think I would understand intent, and if I didn't, you sure as hell bet I'd ask.

So you're either a much better person than me, or dishonest to yourself or never asked yourself that question in all seriousness.

My point always was that it's easy to fart some philosophical bullshit about intent into the world. From your comfy chair in front of your screen. From the perspective of your comfy life in a first world country.

And by the way, you missed to answer my question about intent by about a lightyear. Intent doesn't solve conflicts. Diplomacy or raw power does. And by the way, if we're so good at heart that we want to rid the world of genocide and evil, why didn't we step in in Rwanda? Why do we support Saudi Arabia? Why do we look away in Turkey, where a full scaled dictatorship is in the making?

I tell you, even if you don't like it, because it doesn't interest us or it would go against our interests. So, go on, frame your well intended interventions and hang them over your bed to feel more comfortable when going to sleep. It's about interests, plain and simple.

And if you think, I'm supporting that, you got another thing coming. I'm disgusted by that approach. I'm just not mirror jerking over how much better we are.
