Anyone here a Muslim? If so question for you...

I'm having a real problem with the idea of any group committing systematic and vengeful acts of mass rape and genocide against their historical enemies because of enslavement and horrible treatment that happened centuries ago. Rhetorically speaking, by that logic, is it now acceptable or reasonable if native americans and black people started raping and slaughtering white people in the USA to avenge their ancestors? (I know you wouldn't think that way, just so you know. I've read enough of your posts regarding religion and faith to know better.)

In my opinion, nothing could possibly make that level of violence acceptable or justifiable. I mean holy shit -- the horror that human beings are capable of inflicting on each other is just incredible...

If I ever lose my compassion or humanity to the point where I don't even blink an eye at the idea of committing the kind of genocidal violence that I've been reading about, I just wouldn't see any point in continuing to live anymore. I still don't know if I believe in God or not, but if he does exist I don't understand how he hasn't given up and wiped us all out by now.

Vengeance is always evil. All ways.

I Don't disagree with these sentiments. But islam is a force that isn't easy to fight back against since the Islamic world is so repressed that their only form of expression is violent extremism. I'm not condoning it... I've never done anything violent to anyone other than get into fights in high school like 4 times. I'm simply saying I wish you guys spent more time fighting Islam than you did trying to condemn the crusaders and Serbs, who are minor blips compared to systematic oppression by muslims against christians, women, Baha'is, jews, Hindus, Zoroastrians, Yazidis, and literally EVERYONE else they've come into contact with.

I am not going to become violent or lack sympathy for the Bosnians. But to be completely honest, I have way more compassion for the Serbs, armenians, Copts, Assyrians, and the Persians, whose only crime was being in the path of barbarians.
