Which country in Africa is democratic ? Which country in Africa is not suppressive ? Which country in Africa isn't a regime ?

Probably – my sentence it’s a kind of – “loan translation’”. I tried to express briefly a “sophisticated” idea . I see such a tendency to condemn Europeans for – almost everything – Crusaders, Slavery, Colonialism, Racism, Wars and so on. Shortly speaking - it’s a childish and primitive. It’s a theme for – a very long discussion or many Big books. Enough for the moment I must go to sleep.

Very interesting language exercise for me - thanks.

"However, you have one freakin' messed up view of objectivity if you look back through history and only identify Muslims as hostile invaders. Hostile invasion was the way EVERYBODY did things back in those days. The Muslims were not unique in this, they were just succesful. " "The Muslims were not unique in this"- is it my opinion that Muslims were unique ?????????? Alleging that poor muslims are victims of agression - is a lie ! "Hostile invasion was the way EVERYBODY did things back in those days" - true ! What for to rubbishing about Europeans as a invaders ! For ages Europe was a victim of agression - Balkan, Spain and so on. By the way - from what I remember - Christianity Gothic Kingdom in Spain exist for 300 years - before invasion of muslims in Spain.

You get confused easily. I'm confused ? Wasting my time. Your "definition" of racism is wrong - confirm that you are very young - lack of knowledge.

Antipathy toward Israel perhaps. That's all ?

GREAT question. Very interesting question !!

“Oh... and since we are talking about geography here, it is completely possible that Muslims may have come to Spain before Christians, *despite* Christianity predated Islam by several hundred years.” Is it geography ??? Not Policy and History !! “it is completely possible that Muslims may have come to Spain before Christians” - It means that you don't know History at all. Many such "smart people" avoid offending Muslims and "forget" about facts. “Forget” about “Holocaust” , who and when was invader and so on. Your statement show your “objectivity”.

Germans were homogenous "group" and Jews were homogenous "group" and Russians were homogenous "group" , many Slavs nations were homogenous "group" and so on. Some of the wars between these nation had character of racist wars. Do you see any rule ? I’m tired your “eloquence”.

According Your definition - ” two homogenous groups” - “In which case, while Bosnians and Serbians are ethnically indentical, both being slavs and both speaking the serbo croatian language , their hate towrds each other was clearly racist’ Besides was does it mean - “homogenous groups” ? - Germans were homogenous group and Jews were homogenous group. I’m afraid that You or I - don’t understand what does it means – homogeneous ! According you - wars between two unhomogeneous groups is a racist war ? Your opinion about this problem is too simplified for me. Ok. I see - probably I understand ” two homogenous groups” - as two different homogenous groups ! But I know such kind of racism - Liberia - racism between africans !

”The Pre-Celtic peoples, of which the Basque are the modern descendants are the 'first' inhabitants of Spain to the best of our knowledge. Then came the Celts, then the Romans, then the Vandals, then the Visigoths, then the Muslims, then the Christians.” Almost correct – despite the fact that Christians were before the Muslims – it show your “objectivity”. ”Tough one... got a time frame for me to work with? There is evidence of Homo Erectus, Homo Habilis and Homo Sapiens all passing through this region circa 50,000 to 1,000,000 years ago.” Argumentum ad absurdum – as if you don’t know what about is talking. Obviously Jews and Christians were before muslims ”Well, first in Egypt is highly debatable, but as for the choice between the Coptics and the Muslims, clearly the Coptic Church predates the Muslims.” It’s obvious – that muslims were invaders in Egypt. The problems are between Muslims and Christians and Jews . Ethnic and historical arguments appears when is describing problems of Palestine or Balkans and so on. The first reconquista appeared in Spain – then the most famous in Palestine. Greece, Bulgary, Spain, France (Poittiers),Balkans, Istanbul, Hungary- Wien and so on – muslims were invaders. Europe was attack by muslims for ages. The Celtiberians , the Romans, the Vandals, the Visigoths – “disappeared” - Spaniards – from ethnic point of view - are descendants of this ethnoses.

racism is, to my definition, falsely using group affiliation to judge a person negatively -- According your definition – two groups of footballs fans of two different clubs – with the same town – are racist – because they hate each other – they often fight – sometimes kill. Muslims are victims of persecution ??? Where ???? More muslims kill another muslims in Algeria and Iraq than ………

Every war, every government need support of society – need “idea”- in order to conduct war. It cause that before war or during war is created the atmosphere of hate toward enemy. Very often it’s ordinary and vulgar PROPAGANDA. The true reasons of war are usually different from what is said. “two homogenous groups would be racist” ???? Who is homogenous ?? Muslims ??? Americans ??? From what I heard – the worst hate is in a family, the worst wars – civil wars – based on HATE. That’s why the worst wars are e.g. – in Algeria and between Sunni and Shiite in Iraq. Besides – from what I know – propaganda before war in Iraq – wasn’t based on hate toward Iraqis.

It means that almost every war now and in the past were racist war. It was according Your definition ! It means that war Iran - Iraq was racist war ? If you want to catoragiz a war between to ethinicities as racist, you can, but that is not why they fought. Arabs hate Persians ! War between Protestants and Catholics were racist wars ? THose could be sectarian wars.... According Your definition – it was racist war ! “I think it's enough if hatred is directed at an identifiable ethic or sectarian group. In which case, while Bosnians and Serbians are ethnically indentical, both being slavs and both speaking the serbo croatian language , their hate towrds each other was clearly racist” May be Your definition is too ”sophisticated” to me or my English - language skills are too poor and that’s why Your opinion is not clear for me.

Who was the first in Spain - Muslims or Christians ? Who was the invader ? What and where was it – reconquista ? Who was the first in Palestina ? Who was the first in Egypt ? The Christian Coptic Church of Egypt or muslims ? And so on , and so on

It means that almost every war now and in the past were racist war. It means that war Iran - Iraq was racist war ? War between Protestants and Catholics were racist wars ? Civil war between Sunni and Shiite – is a racist war ? Definition of notion – racism - is very important in order to sensible discuss.

Islam is not a race - it’s obvious Many kinds of people are muslims – many kinds of skin colour . “completely infantile to defend hate by saying it isn't racism” ???? It means that hate Christians – is a racism ?? Despite the fact that Christians are white ………. and so on. Using word “racism” – in order to describe hate towards another religion is a kind of PROPAGANDA . It’s creating the impression that muslims are victims of persecution.

Hindu hate Muslims – is it a racism ?

No - because Muslim extremits have many kinds of skin colour. !

If that's the case, why did they send repeated warnings to leave Iranian waters? Prove it. The Iranians probably don't use GPS, so unless there was marker buoys or their boats are on a 12 mile long rope, their warnings don't hold water. As usual - concrete question - BC chick disappeared.

In fact – it doesn’t matter who is right. Doesn’t matter where this border is. Ccircumstances of this “accident” to show that Iran want a conflict with West. It’s a kind of political test.
