Muslims tend to get along great with people of other faiths, but Islam as an expansionist and revanchist political movement is at war with its neighbors everywhere it exists, and at war with itself.




Islam as an expansionist and revanchist political movement is supported by a majority of Muslims either explicitly or implicitly. The energy of the wave produces the crest. How can it be otherwise?

Despite wanting to, I have been telling myself not to participate in this discussion.

Today I am breaking that self made rule to point out that the title of this is Jews vs Muslims.

When it could have been Jews & Muslims.




There does seem to be some competition there to point out. Seems a minor point for making a rule about it. Perhaps it is just a sensitive topic? It hasn't devolved into a spitting match yet despite the provocative title.

I feel that both sides use "the enemy" in an attempt to unify the group.  Nothing unifies people like the ancient "us versus them" perspective.  An enemy helps solidify the collective.




Yes, ethnicity, religion, culture, wealth, sex, age, etc. All seem to typically foster us/them perspectives.

Seems a strange paradox where the individual both wants to be unified as a collective and also feel special (and perhaps superior) due to their unique qualities.

Does it start as me vs them and then become us vs them due to the need for support? Isn't it all deeply personal? Deeper than ethnicity, religion, culture, wealth, sex, age, etc.?
