So your first comment was so full of historical inaccuracies I didn't take you seriously. Now you're taking one bit that didn't apply to your comment and trying to apply it to my reply. Propaganda and U.S. media propaganda of the last 25 years are not mutually exclusive. Propaganda and changing the way people think by subjecting them to a perpetual source of fear porn is and has always been the most profound and prolific reason for what has happened throughout history, including what's happening now. Also, since your inability to discern one thing from another is apparent, what I'm saying is not exclusive to Islam.

Then, too, is hidden history, which apparently we can't talk about... If you walk into a room and see a guy beating the hell outta another guy, what do you assume is happening? The guy on top is the villain? Are you able to perceive that something happened outside of your observance BEFORE you entered, that led to the current situation? The guy on the bottom could be a thief, or an assassin.. You don't know, because your view point is limited. But run and tell your story anyway, tell everyone you see what you saw, get them all to believe it.

Whatever experiences and traumas you've gone through in your life to have your current mindset is fine by me... I'm perfectly ok with you and however you see the world. As wrong as you may be about this, it's not up to me to change your perspective.
