Westerners seem to have the idea that if you can make up some bullshit charges against a nation of brown people, you can bomb them indiscriminately, claiming the soldiers are just doing their jobs. Does the occasional dude with an AK-47 and a grudge really compare, in terms of the total evil committed?
Firstly, I would like to apologize for that statement. That was an incorrect, non-researched statement. I think a more accurate statement would be that almost anything could be used and/or twisted around, as the Quran is sometimes used by extremist Islam groups, or the Bible is by extremists Catholic groups.
Secondly, I, a 13-year-old girl on an Internet forum, most certainly do not represent all Westerners. I personally have nothing against anyone whose brown-skinned or Muslim or Catholic or gay or Catholic and gay (... this could go on... The only religious people I truly have a problem with are those who use their religious belliefs to hurt others) and I'm unsure of why you even brought that up. Not all Muslims are brown-skinned; not all Muslims even live in the Middle East.
Thirdly, it's a bit hypocritical to generalize all Westerners, when you're trying to calling me out on generalizing terrorists.
Fourthly, I (who, may I repeat, don't speak for all Westerners) don't believe that I can "make up some bullshit charges against a nation of brown people and bomb them indiscriminatly."
I was attempting to make a point; I did not make it well; I apologize; and I hope this thread stays on track.
