The Romans were harsh to everyone they conquered. I don't think you know much about European history and cultures and that it flowed in and out of Italy and also the middle east. Europeans share close ancestry and culture. I get it you think the middle east is superior to Europe.
Actually, they weren't. The Romans were very lenient in allowing various cultures and religions to exist within their empire. They also didn't care where people came from as long as they served the Roman Empire. Rome had its faults but racist it was not.
Europeans don't share a close ancestry, there is no evidence for this on historical or genetic grounds. Nor do they share any kind of kinship. Which is obvious since they spent 98% of their history brutally killing each other.
I don't think the Middle East is superior to Europe, but there is no arguing that areas outside of Europe were more civilized for most of human history. Which is why I must correct your false white supremacists view of history.
^^^This. Mean Christians drive more people away from God than folks the most hard-core atheist ever could. It's not supposed to work that way.
Its like saying "you don't quit a business you work for, you quit the workers that you work with." Same goes for religions. Its the not church people pull away from but the parishioners.
A religion that acts like the world is ending because some football player kneels for the national anthem yet is apathetic towards or even supportive of brown-skinned CHILDREN being imprisoned at the border is a morally bankrupt religion.

Pure nonsense. Genetic testing proves otherwise. Don't you realize Europeans were nomadic throughout Europe for 10,000 of thousands of years with gene and cultural flow? Rome and the middle east may have been less isolated and easier to develop than other parts of Europe but were not what you'd call more civilized.
You mischaracterized warfare for people killing people out of malice. Among Europeans when the other army was defeated or surrender generally there was not much more killing.
Do you think liberals would have respected Christians and Christianity more if the religion and its adherents were beheading people or advocating such of, asking infidels (non-Christians) to convert, to die or to pay extra tax, throw gays off from roof top buildings, stone adulterous to death, demanding capital punishment for insulting Jesus/Christianity, forcing women to cover themselves, ban alcohol/gambling/prostitution, etc. in the 21st century?
No.

I do support western values. That's why I oppose theocrats.

What genetic testing? If genetic testing shows anything its that a myriad of various peoples settled Europe over the span of thousands of years. You are confusing reality, with your innate wanting of a united white peoples. Sorry bucko...its not real and its not going to happen.

Without malice? How do you explain all those large scale massacres and brutal genocides that have occurred throughout European history. The worst genocide in human history was white people doing it to other white people. You are in a series state of denial.

The vast majority of European wars were one Empire or kingdom fighting over resources of another. Outside of that Europeans mostly cohabitated harmoniously and peacefully. You think the middle east and the East doesn't have its warfare and even genocides? I'd say worse if you really analize it.

That's a good way of putting it, thanks.
