The guest kept deflecting any inconvenient questions. He is two-faced, a wolf in a sheep's skin. He would use leftist talking points throughout the conversation (bringing up the Vietnam war, Somalia, the Iraq war, detention of minors, the crusades, etc.) to shit on Western countries, but if he were to be asked whether homosexuals should face death penalty - he would squirm like an eel. He's a hypocrite and a demagogue - he will deny that Islamic terrorists have anything to do with Islam, but he will blame the West as a whole for a lone anti-Muslim terrorist attack. The guest keeps playing the victim card throughout the entire conversation.<br><br>Let's go over his complaints one by one.<br><br>Let's start with the crusades. Started in late 11th century, ended in late 13th century. By that time, Muslims had already conquered 2/3 of the ancient Christian lands (lands that converted to Christianity on their own - they were not forced, mind you - because Christianity elevated the status of the common people). You may want to take a look at I_To-cV94Bo to comprehend the disparity. Less than 20 battles were fought during the crusades - all of them in formerly Christian lands - more than 200 battles were fought in Spain alone during the Islamic wars of conquest. The audacity of the guest to bring up the subject of the crusades shows his true colors.<br><br>Vietnam? The US was literally invited to defend the legitimate government against the communist insurrection supported by the Soviet Union and China. The result of the successful communist takeover in the region? The Cambodian genocide, and the refugee crisis in the region. Since the guest is so critical of the US involvement in Vietnam (mind you, the civilian casualties is something reprehensible; I don't think anyone in the West denies that), I guess he supports the genocide that followed or perhaps denies it like Chomsky?<br><br>Somalia? Does he mean the deposition of a Muslim warlord that deliberately caused a famine among his fellow Muslims to control the population?<br><br>Iraq? I will not deny that the invasion and deposition of Saddam Hussein was launched under false pretenses - but the 1 million civilians allegedly killed by the USA? Far-fetched at best, if not a blatant lie. The estimates vary - they range from less than 90k to over 1m. Thing is, the vast majority of them was perpetrated by Muslim terrorist that did not even try to target the military in the first place. I was against the invasion before and when it was taking place - I just hate the manipulation. Just a few percent of these were directly caused by the invading forces. Should have been none, obviously.<br><br>Detention of minors by Israel under what charges? Charges of terrorism? Should juvenile terrorists get a slap on the wrist? We're seeing what this leads to in the USA and the UK - gangs start to rely on children to carry out their criminal activity because of lenient treatment.
