As if Jesus Christ was born in Europe...
But of course this has nothing to do with religion and everything to do with destruction.
Yes, exactly. Christianity, via Catholicism, is being maligned in the areas because it is associated with "Europe," being "European."
It's remarkable how dim this line is, given that all or nearly all the people living in Central and South America share some Spanish ancestor, but why they can then reject Christianity in favor of Islam is truly nonsensical but it IS a racial judgement. They're rejecting Christianity on RACIST terms, to state the obvious, and which you seem to have noticed already.
