Islam in Europe: perception and reality

[Mudhammam]

I know that we're not the moral equivalent of ISIS, but I know that we have done our own morally-despicable things in that part of the world that have engendered hatred of and distrust for us.

THAT (in bold) has been the entire point of my argument here, despite others either disingenuously or ignorantly twisting my words to make me seem a champion of every foreign policy decision U.S. lawmakers have ever made (an obvious straw man). And how would you judge the difference between how we execute war versus those groups (such as ISIS), which in many ways are the very embodiment of evil, if not largely examining their stated and apparent intentions?
