Please stop shilling out this Islamophobic bullshit. You do yourselves a disservice. At one point in history, Islam was the backbone of so many advances in scientific research, but the age of caliphs was cut short by Western imperialism. I wonder how better off the Middle East would be if the British Empire hadn't stuck their dirty fingers into it. And the damage that was done back then is only exacerbated by Murkah's vain attempts at nation building.

This subreddit makes me ashamed to be an atheist. I can understand dismay at the state of the Middle East today, more so than understand, but you have to keep in mind what brought it to what it's become. Take Christianity's effect on Native Americans for example, see what sort of horrible practices became ingrained in their cultural identity, and then replace Christianity with Western Imperialism and Native Americans with Muslims.

If you can't see where I'm coming from, simply let me know and I'll stop bothering.
