Pakistani man who renounced Islam and became a humanist has had his application for asylum in the UK rejected after failing to correctly answer questions about ancient Greek philosophers

And Islam has its own history of imperialism and colonialism going back farther than the West.

The history of imperialism and colonialism in the West goes back centuries before Islam was founded as a religion. You are aware of how Europe became Christian and the history of the Mediterranean before Islam, right?

The Middle East is not the only place muslims are causing trouble either. It's everywhere from South Asia to East Asia as well.

Not to the extent in the Middle East. Also, you'll note that the vast majority of 'Islamic terror' in those countries outside the Middle East were funded by Saudi Arabia, a state that was created by the West and has been unwaveringly supported by them ever since. You might recall Trump recently praising their leaders on Twitter for arresting political dissidents? Or the time he flew over there to dance with their king and give them weapons?

But please, keep trying to play the whole 'the west dindu nuffin' narrative. This is why you'll never defeat terrorism and why it'll keep getting worse. You're incapable of having a nuanced look at it beyond 'MUH IZLAAAAHM.'
