I believe the argument isn't so much about divinity identity, but rather about ideological imperialism.

  > but rather about ideological imperialism Christian history (crusades, Latin America, US history) would like to have a word with you. Most major religions of this world are guilty of imperialism.

    I agree, but we collectively seem to agree that was a bad thing. Is it less evil now? Why should a similar wrong be tolerated if we recognise the damage it has caused in the past?

  Say "we have our own ethnic identity and don't stray outside of it, yet we are fruitful", that's 99% of what any ethnicity needs to innoculate itself against slow-motion intifadas. That's the fear, the ideological imperialism going hand-in-hand with ethnic displacement, and that happens everywhere not just with Muslims, it's just explicit religious doctrine for them. Western/European countries could do with a serious fast on shame, ever since the second world war it's like a lust for shame and death has been injected in. I don't love or even like Muslims, and have very little desire to understand them! And I love that I live in a place where I won't even be harassed for saying that, at most I'll be disinvited from a party. They're just people from a culture I don't understand and I'm totally content not understanding most all cultures and most all people, not that I have much choice in the matter because I'm not a global hivemind, I can't be everywhere at once and even if I could it would be a lot of work to make that a comfortable experience.
