Give yourself a pat on the back buddy! You are really making a difference! Fuck those charities handing out misquito nets dude. They should see all the great work GrumpyCatFace is doing on the Martinhash.com forum. Talk about sacrifices! He made 20 reddit accounts and personally upvoted over 2000 reddit posts about the Syrian refugee crisis! Is there any way you could do a TED talk at my college next year? I would honestly love to hear your full story.
Keep supporting those charity organizers then - they need to eat too.
If you have some idea of how to make a difference, then please illuminate us. I honestly don't.
It isn't our job to support warring ethnic groups or to correct historical wrongs. You should read a book called Heirs to forgotten Kingdoms. It talks about the vanishing sectarian groups in the middle East. The arab spring led to a Christian winter. ISIS certainly didn't help matters, but in Egypt after Morsi won, coptic Christians were violently attacked and driven out. The same thing has happened in Iraq and Syria. Muslims fuck with smaller ethnic groups all the time. Sunni muslims are probably the worst, but the Shias of Iran fucking run pogroms on the B'ahais every chance they get. Muslims can play the victim card when they cross the Mediterranean, but locally they brutalize and bully every other ethnic group they can. But I guess we can blame all of that on the Sykes Picot Agreement of 1916 right?
I wanna play this game too! Can we blame the 2008 housing crash and Sandy Hook on the Stamp Act and the War of 1812?
Don't cut yourself on all that edge.
You'll find that any desperate group of poor people will band together and fight for turf in a strange place. That is not all that they're capable of, and it's not threatening our entire civilization. See: anybody in prison ever, every single ethnic group ever to land in America.
If you see Muslims as genetically or "ethnically" prone to violence, and they always will be, then you are, in fact, being a racist. I'll agree that they are currently, as a group, a shitty bunch of neighbors. But the immigrants will integrate, as all other have in the past. Now let go of your pearls, enforce the street laws, and it'll be ok.
