But since you bring up this story about Lebanon, please show us some authoritative documentation for it. Perhaps it's true, but someone's "Geocities" website proves nothing. Bear in mind that there is the question of blood types to be considered. Taking everything into account, it doesn't seem plausible.
My point is not that Islamic countries are wonderful places to live or entirely filled with wonderful people, but that one can find bad points in any culture or religion, if one surveys their entire history. Remember those killed in the Wars of Religion or the Cathars and Albigensians ...
We will have to do what we will have to do. Stirring up excessive hatred or contempt or anger doesn't seem to be called for.
"Bear in mind that there is the question of blood types to be considered."
I'm sure that what happened in Lebanon is OK so long as the soldiers took only the blood type they needed, eh?
Stirring up excessive hatred or contempt or anger doesn't seem to be called for.
And what level of anger would you consider "appropriate" for the wanton, cowardly slaughter of thousands of our countrymen? What level of anger was "appropriate" for our collective response to Pearl Harbor?
You presume too much when you presume to tell me how angry I can or can't be.
