    Common sense is not boiling hundreds of years worth of geopolitics into a single talking point and acting like you’ve somehow solved all problems in an area if we just somehow did this one thing.

    In fact, the extremism you are talking about is largely due to foreign countries destabilizing regions around the world that happen to be majority Muslim countries.

    You’d respond the same way if a handful of countries showed up at your doorstep, set up military bases, bombed your neighbors, friends, and family, and then toppled your government causing wide spread famine, inflation, and collapse of your economy.

    Honestly, how could you not end up hating someone for doing that?

      The lack of self awareness is hilarious. You are literally proving my point. “Everyone who doesn’t agree with my extremely ideology is a racist”
