> My point to all of this is that to say that 'they' are savages is disingenuous.

So your argument rests on a massive Tu Quoque and a lot of False Equivalence.



No, my argument was one of racism in the initial response to what was then the top comment, specifically about the term 'muslim countries' within the context of Pakistan. This is wrong as islam is a religion not a race, although as the comment was specifically in response to Pakistan is not entirely wrong, nor right. The correct argument is that the original commenter is an islamophobe who considers muslims some generic 'other' subhuman.

In response to your comment you asked me to document rights abuses in the US, which I did.
