This just reminded me of a Norm MacDonald joke ....  "What terrifies me is if ISIS were to detonate a nuclear device and kill 50 million Americans. Imagine the backlash against peaceful Muslims?"  The guy wants people to empathize with his Central Asian friends while calling people xenophobic and racist. I have a hard time believing people who portray a large-scale story as black and white. Not to mention, him repeating the historian tag to gain credibility.,(reply>), @My Channel You are missing so many critical points on the US' s funding of Mujaheedin during the Soviet's invasion of Afghanistan that there's no point explaining that in a comment section.<br>However, my point was most people will view things in Black and white during times of overwhelming emotion, especially after watching the fact that BL had done it in the name of Islam. That doesn't always stem from xenophobia and racism. Especially since Islam is not a race.  It's ironical that he calls for empathy for Afghans. <br>There is expectation for more understanding of the situation since Afghans and Americans don't meet each other on daily basis and none of them are inherently evil. There are complex circumstances, if you know about the history of Afghanistan and US involvement during the Soviet invasion, that need to understood with empathy and not by shunning one side as racist and xenophobic. <br>And calm down with that Christian neo con supporter bs as I am neither Christian nor American.,(reply>), @My Channel Relax Linda, straw man doesn't really work outside of your book club. Get ahold of yourself before embarassing yourself again.
