&gt;<i>There is no 40% group of the population in Europe that holds views that are anywhere near as disgusting as that.</i><p>Well, only 50+ years ago there was an over 40% population in the US that thought that blacks were inferior and shouldn&#x27;t sit in the same restaurants&#x2F;hotels&#x2F;schools with whites. In fact it was even law in some states.<p>Beyond that, there were about all major western countries, France, UK, Belgium, Holland, Italy, etc, that had other people enslaved in colonies up until the sixties. 2+ billion people had their countries managed by foreigners, and their fellow countrymen tortured and executed when asking freedom (and sometimes, just killed for fun).<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theguardian.com&#x2F;uk&#x2F;2012&#x2F;apr&#x2F;18&#x2F;britain-destroyed-records-colonial-crimes" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theguardian.com&#x2F;uk&#x2F;2012&#x2F;apr&#x2F;18&#x2F;britain-destroyed-...</a><p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.monbiot.com&#x2F;2005&#x2F;12&#x2F;27&#x2F;how-britain-denies-its-holocausts&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.monbiot.com&#x2F;2005&#x2F;12&#x2F;27&#x2F;how-britain-denies-its-hol...</a><p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.independent.co.uk&#x2F;news&#x2F;world&#x2F;africa&#x2F;inside-frances-secret-war-396062.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.independent.co.uk&#x2F;news&#x2F;world&#x2F;africa&#x2F;inside-france...</a><p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theplaidzebra.com&#x2F;human-zoos-one-europes-shameful-secrets-ended-50s&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theplaidzebra.com&#x2F;human-zoos-one-europes-shameful...</a><p>Heck, even in Paris itself, the French police famously killed over 200 Algerians marching for their country&#x27;s freedom in a single day in 1961 -- and it took them 40+ years, after all officials were dead or too old, to finally admit it and ask for an apology.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Paris_massacre_of_1961" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Paris_massacre_of_1961</a><p>These countries also thought that they should have a say as to whether a remote country should have this or that president or regime -- to the point of toppling legitimate regimes, bombing those countries, coming to assist one party or another in a civil war, etc.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;1953_Iranian_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;1953_Iranian_coup_d%27%C3%A9ta...</a><p>There have been over 2 million victims of those interventions in the last 10 years alone. Every despicable hit by muslim terrorists (and we all agree its despicable) was met with 4-5 orders of magnitude many more innocent victims on those countries.<p>If some muslim country managed to harm 1&#x2F;100 that number of, say, Texans, where would the percentages of &quot;tolerance&quot; and &quot;acceptance&quot; towards them go?<p>We should condemn all violence -- not forgive the one that has better PR and is done by cool looking people who have the same background as us.
