Good article. The leftists usually buy Islamic argument that the West is 'deserved' to be hated because they colonized many "Islamic countries" before. This caused the animosity among the Muslim toward the West.

I would say, if we accept that line of argument, we also have to accept the argument that the West 'deserves to hate' Muslims because at the beginning, it was Muslims who conquered Christian lands, converted the Christians, and even captured Constantinople: the Second Rome!

The crusades did more to destroy the Byzantine Empire than the Turks.
