Whites enslaved Africans, killed most AI's, colonised the world, made every race feel inferior, set up an industrialised system which is destroying nature, started world wars, covet most of the worlds wealth, etc...etc.........and now they complain about a few burning buildings and some dead nuns!
Yes; the Western objection to common murder, arson and wholesale societal oppression is indeed disheartening. If only we could be so open-minded as to look the other way in the face of hatred.
Then again, if the comparison is the relative humanitarianism of the West versus that of the islamic world regarding slavery and the like, why is it no one ever mentions the Arabic slave trade? And where did they all go? There don't seem to be any black Middle Easterners. Did something...well, unfortunate happen to them all? The stairs in Baghdad a little tricky last millenium, were they?
How odd.
