    I wouldn't put colonial/conquest wars in this debate. France didn't invade Algeria because it was Muslim country. France took Algeria in constructing the 2nd Colonial Empire. France will invade what will become Indochina as well, and theses countries were not Muslim (and still not).
    As far as imperialism goes, Turkish rule in the Balkans was infinitely more fair than just about any European colonial rule.

    It is not about Europeans invading Muslim countries, it is about Europeans invading countries, period. For several centuries, up to two-three generations ago it was quite normal to murder indiscriminately for material gain of the state or some wealthy individual or companies.

    It was organized murder and oppression on a vast scale, sanctioned or organized by the state, by the cultural elites.
    On the other end, you've got some fringe, miniscule elements of a religion committing murders. And we are sane and they have a mental disorder.

    I hate terrorism as much as anyone, but holding 1,200,000,000 people responsible for the actions of a few people is quite ludicrous.
