Correct me if I am wrong (history is not my strong point) but weren't most of the seafaring western nations (France, UK, Holland, Spain, Portugal, et al) all going out and claiming lands from afar in the name of The King, and therefore by extension the Vatican? (Most monarchies were always begging the Pope for favours, forgiveness or permission at some point or other, mutual back-scratching and redistribution of treasures gained...)

Plant a flag, say some words, kill a few natives and force your language on them, kinda thing?

I actually watched the film Australia last night, and how the aboriginies (dunno how u spell that) were treated was horrendous, regardless of numbers.

Blaming the West for all the problems in the Middle East is like blaming terrorism on Islam as well.

Who started the First World War? Islam ?
Who started the second World War? Islam ?
Who Killed about 20 millions of Aborigines in Australia? Islam ?
Who Threw Nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Islam
Who Killed more than 100 millions of Red Indians in North America? Islam ?
Who killed more than 50 millions of RedIndians in Southa America? Islam ?
Who took about 180 millions of African people as slaves and killed 88% of them and threw in atlantic oceans? Islam ?

Oh, I can't help myself here. With a thread like this.....

Answer: No to all of the above. They have been to busy off'ing themselves and driving their technology a century behind everyone elses because of the witches! I think it was because Islam has been too tolerant of other religions previously. Don't worry, everyone knows that they are trying to one day catch up to these atrocities. Maybe this century. _javascript:icon('')

But Turkey got a million or so Armenians last century.

What does any of that regurgitated nonsense have to do with my post? It sure as hell wasn't a contradiction! If anything at all, that crap was more of an affirmation!

Get your numbers correct, and state some facts, then we'll discuss atrocities.

See ya,

Oooh images strewn throughout the post, it must be logic and fact and none of that fancy attention seeking stuff, eh!

Hmm, 20 of millions. How many is that? Certainly more than the estimated 318,000 and 1,000,000 at the time.

Did the british have a time machine, kill every single Aborigine and then go back in time to do it another 20-40 times?

Must be.. But hey your post is full of images and fancy statements, only a fool would disagree with you.

This kiddies, is what you look like when you don't think for yourself and regurgitate ignorance in public *points at op*

It proves that facts are useless when used by simple people.

Christianity does happen to have the lion's share of blame on colonialism while Islam does not have a monopoly on terrorism. Extremely poor reasoning detracting from a valuable message.

I broadly define Terrorism as a tasty snack. How do you define it?
