  • Do you believe that white man is as big a threat to world peace as Islam
     OP - December 19, 2015, 03:50 AM

    I believe they both are. Islam is a militaristic religion whose true believers seek expansion through military conquest of the globe. We can all accept that.

    However white people seem to have this innate tendency regardless of religion whether it was the atheist USSR expanding communism, the neo-pagan Nazis or the Christian Spanish conquest of the Americas.

    Christianity is a more pacifist religion yet the supposedly Christian Europeans conquered much of the world after the 1600s in a violent way.

    And it didn't stop with colonialism. Within Europe, the two world wars were the most destructive events of modern history.

    After WW2, with the atom bomb the white man stopped fighting each other. Instead they carried on fighting through third world proxies.

    I would agree that Islam is a threat to world peace but also that Europeans are also a threat to world peace. The current chaos in Iraq started after the west invaded.

    Sorry, you are going to have to define what you mean when you say ¨white¨. Like caucasian? People with white skin? People who identify as white?
    Because Europe currently doesn´t really have a ¨boots on the ground¨ sort of mentality.
    You gotta clarify.

    I mean people of European descent basically, both those in Europe and the USA.

    Not all people, but I think there's a deep rooted culture or genetics that makes Europeans more likely to go to war. And much of today's problems stem from that.

    Europe may have been replaced by European Americans in this regard but Europeans still provide a lot of support to Americas policies, both political and military.

    If you strip the US military of everyone who is not of pure European descent then you haven´t got much to fight with. So, I don´t think much would happen with your theory.

    I'm not comparing Islam to a race.

    I'm saying that militarism is as much part of the white race as it is part of the Islamic belief system. An attribute can be shared by a religion and an ethnic group.

    Where did two world wars happen again? Which continent has the most wars in modern history? How many countries has the USA invaded since WW2?

    Brown people don't have a fanaticism gene. There are as many if not more fanatics in Africa as in the middle east. Fanaticism has more to do with Islam than race. It just so happens that white people have not adopted Islam on the same level as brown people did.

    White converts are disproportionately involved in terrorism.

    It's not direct colonization as it was in the past. America has military bases all over the world. If that's not a form of colonization, what is? Most of the people in those countries don't want American military bases in their countries but their pro-American dictatorships allow them. America has been supporting coups in Latin American countries who don't submit to American hegemony such as Venezuela.

    What about the Iraq war? Iraq was a secular country with Christian deputy Prime Minister who had no links to Bin Laden and no WMDs. America and Britain invaded and caused the chaos that gave rise to ISIS who are now killing everyone. All for oil.

    I do not since I know Muslims with no interest in doing anything like this.

    It is a human trait not a specific. China throughout history face repeated invasion from civilizations that are far more militaristic in nature due to be nomadics than from an rural heavy civilization.

    Christianity was tamed due to the violence it's own organizations created and imposed upon it's own and foreign populations due to just such events. Before these events Christianity faced an expanding Muslim Empire in Spain and in Asia Minor/Balkan. The only reason Christianity is highlighted is that it was the latest in history.

    Destruction increases due to technology. However World War 2 was not solely the product of Europe as Japan is not European. The European theater barely went beyond North Africa, the Urals and the Atlantic while the Asia Theater covered China, Eastern India, and all of South-West Asia. Japan started it's war years before Germany did anything. It only started to include colonial powers when said powers had their power broken at home.

    China was no one's proxy as evident from it's split from the Russia Soviet system. Proxies are not new nor unique. Many powers throughout history used proxies to weaken an enemy

    It started when the West turned a blind eye to a dictator and supported him only to see him turn against them. However the sectarian violence from Iraq was already present within the society due to the culture and religion of the area. The West didn't force Shia nor Sunni to start fighting each other. That mentality already existed.

    It is called projection of power with the express permission of the local or national government for those bases. Colonization is when a group actually colonizes an area.

    True. However the local populations can also rise up to remove such influences. All I really see from this type of rhetoric is "Look, I am being oppressed!" Without doing anything about it.

    Which used chemical warfare on it's own population and the Iranians. Sure the reason for invasion was complete BS but lets not pretend Iraq was some utopia or even a nation with any level of freedom enjoyed by citizens of other nations.

    To answer the questions in your last sentence in order....

    1)  The two world wars happened all over the world.  That's why they were named World Wars and not White Race Wars.

    2)  Impossible to say because wars only reach outside attention when the warriors have the technology to kill on a mass scale.  Most likely wars have happened all over every continent in modern history, but the ones fought with bow and arrows don't make the history books.

    3)  Don't know, but too many.  What does America's foreign policy have to do with the white race anyway?  What about all the other countries full of white people who disagree with them?  What about the white Americans who disagree with their government's actions?  What about the black Americans who support these invasions and join up to take part? 

    Racial explanations for anything are always a bit crap.  That's why they were discredited in the 1930s.

    Wow. Try "black" instead of "white", and explain to me what is wrong here. If only white Europeans disappeared, we would have world peace. Halleluja.

    And FYI, the world has had a lot of "world wars", not connected to Europe - they just haven't been defined as such due to ethnocentric media reporting. And I didn't know WWII knowledge was so poor among people. Like, no one cares what was going on in Asia?

    Powerful nations conquer, colonise and subjugate weaker nations, race has nothing to do with it. The Mongol Empire (for an example) was not ruled by Europeans, neither was the Ottoman Empire. Nonsensical bigotry like this has been expressed before but people like you can never support it with reliable sources.

    A number of wars before the present still had massive causalities in the millions. Given that human population before the modern era is not even close to the 7 billion now a war with 30 million causality, religious war in Germany that effected most of the continent, is a larger percentage of a sub-billion population that 60 million of a population of 2-3 billion. People see big numbers but rarely consider the percentage of the population that these numbers represent.
