Terrorist attacks in Brussels

You're conflating Islam with Middle Eastern values.

False distinction. In the example you cited me making, Iran is a Muslim country ruled by Muslim laws. More broadly, Islam and the Middle East are almost totally inseparable because the overwhelming majority of the governments are either Muslim and/or their constituents are mostly Muslims. Muslims and Islam have the real power. Christians and Jews have basically no rights in the Middle East at this point except in Israel, which the rest of the Middle East is doing its best to exterminate precisely because it is not a Muslim country with a Muslim-style government. The Jews were run out of Muslim countries decades ago, and now Christianity is being wholesale-exterminated, there is NOTHING you can tell me that can somehow mitigate this basic fact.
