You're certainly not beating the accusation that you're emotionally driven and arrogant. Just completely irrational response there.

You sound very arrogant, quick to call others irrational and driven by emotion while having exactly zero self awareness and doing exactly zero self analysis.

You don't actually have any interest in rationality or objectively, that would require you to confront your own biased and understand the reasoning of people you disagree with, you just use the mantra to license yourself to asset that the things you already emotionally believed are true and those that disagree can be dismissed and ignored.

You realized people have subjective perspectives and used that to go "wow, everyone who disagrees with me is insane and emotional! Their brains have fallen out!"

You are the very person you're so condescendingly railing against, mate. Get the fucking log out of your eye and learn some humility.

You say that like the entire secular leadership of the West hasn't consistently been breying for oceans of Palestinian blood.

The vast majority of the war in the middle east for the last century has been caused by secular imperialists motivated by wealth and power.

The standard western refrain of "they're religious, so we have no choice but to carpet bomb their cities, overthrow their governments, and destroy their economies" does not count as religion causing the war. Except maybe for the American Civil Religion, and it's equivalent for western supremacists more generally.

So I checked Wikipedia

"You may have made extensive, well reasoned argument, but I have consulted the Holy Scripture (Wikipedia) and it says you're wrong."

I can't believe this racist bullshit is getting upvoted. Europe has far more of a history of being perpetually at war than the middle east.

Most of the war in the middle east for the past century was created by secular imperialists, motivated by material greed and racism.

“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

They'll continue to kill by the hundreds of thousands in the middle east.

Given that NATO is actively supporting the worst thing going on the world (as usual), yes?
