Hopefully the time for this redundant conversation is up and over.
Hopefully it is the final turn of your corrupt wheel.

People fear that broken islamists wish for their death. You deliver.

The word "pay" is different than "wishing death". I wish superpowers -along with their people- start to see the weight of the misery their actions cause. That's different from the "terrorist straw man" mentality, that is a wise humane mentality. Some people in the west -who are white atheists; some are even Jews- share this view with me.
Enough with the terrorism straw man, it is becoming old. Again I wish for a repent, not a death. Huge difference their exists.

Back when Japan had its Bubble Economy and everybody was talking about "internationalization," it was easy for young foreigners just out of college to come here and get a job. There were lots of inexperienced Americans in town.
At the late-night bar in town where the foreigners would gather, it was fairly common to have fist fights between Americans and foreigners from other countries. And the cause was very frequently what the foreigners had to say about US foreign policy. The 20-something American kids had just never heard anyone say that America wasn't the greatest ever and the wonderful scion of democracy. A lot of them couldn't deal with hearing it. A Korean guy would mention that the US killed something like 20% of the population of North Korea, and rather than accepting the fact the American guy would lash out.
The vast majority of Americans have no idea what their country has done. Corporate media are fantastically effective at presenting an alternate reality. And the hatred they've worked up against Muslims is a fundamental part of this. If we knew who the real enemy was we might hold someone accountable at home.
And of course this continues. During the time we've all been feeling sorry for ourselves about the virus, we managed to drop a record number of bombs on Somalia, though I'll bet that only a tiny percentage of Americans knows this.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Here's Muhammad telling people to drink camel urine, which is thought to have helped spread the MERS coronavirus.
So maybe Muhammad caused Coronavirus after all.

Many people don't feel the consequence of their actions until hit with the same action. We -Arabs- were put under dictators and thugs; Americans didn't feel what we go through until Trump came to power.
Terrorists brought a bad name for us, but westerners didn't feel what we feel until the extreme rightists began to kill in their societies.
The west -and America- will never feel what we feel until a superpower starts messing with their countries. Sadly I think China and Russia are rising now and exploding in the west the same way it exploded Arabs. They have a whole wing called "the Oligarchs" across Europe and America now.

Trump is not a dictator, he is just extremely incompetent.

Extreme right exists in US since the beginnings of US. And in disguise of KKK and Aryan Nation they have been killing more people in the past than now.
