I respectfully suggest you aren't " free from racial prejudices and statistical mistakes" We are all too much a product of our conditioning to be free from its influence. If you truly believe you are then you've got a blind spot. IMO, no one is immune, But the problem lies elsewhere : 1/ No white organisation massively helps, or guides or train etc, the white killers. 2/ The casualty numbers cannot be compared. 3/ The white killers are mainly motivated by money, or are sick ; while the Muslim terrorists hope to bring the leading nation on earth to its knees... and take over. With this statement, you are making the very case I'm arguing for. If for 10 minutes you would forget you are an American (I assume) and imagine yourself as a Palestinian (for example) and then passionately argue against your suppositions, you may begin to understand the limitations of your current perceptions I'll start: 1/ No white organisation massively helps, or guides or train etc, the white killers Consider The CIA or The School of the Americas based in Ft. Benning 2/ The casualty numbers cannot be compared. How many North Vietnamese did we kill? 3/ The white killers are mainly motivated by money, or are sick ; while the Muslim terrorists hope to bring the leading nation on earth to its knees... and take over. The "white" Christian Crusaders wanted to do what to the Muslims when they invaded them? There were actually 8 Crusades: • the first, 1095-1101; * the second, headed by Louis VII, 1145-47; * the third, conducted by Philip Augustus and Richard Coeur-de-Lion, 1188-92; * the fourth, during which Constantinople was taken, 1204; * the fifth, which included the conquest of Damietta, 1217; * the sixth, in which Frederick II took part (1228-29); also Thibaud de Champagne and Richard of Cornwall (1239); * the seventh, led by St. Louis, 1249-52; * the eighth, also under St. Louis, 1270
