What a huge exaggeration. People were rightly angry after 9/11, but most Americans didn’t want to “kill all Muslims”. And having competition with china is not the same as hating them. China abused the US trade relation for a long time, but it’s hardly hate to play hardball back.
- Dah00n 3y agoNo, the average American didn't but the war on terror have caused over 900.000 direct deaths, millions indirect deaths and displaced 46 million people. Most were and are completely innocent Muslims. I too wonder why those lives were okay to end or destroy or if those caring about what happens in China did something to stop what they could actually do something about? Call it whataboutism if you want but I fail to see how any American can claim a moral high ground and why they would want their government to do something about this above what they themselves are a part of. Unless of course they didn't want the war on terror either but I very much doubt that the average American cares as much about the Muslims killed after 9/11 as they do about the Chinese Muslims. It smells of repeating propaganda to me. Sure this should be stopped, but it is not as high up the list as what the US does to anyone who actually care about the people and not just the politics - after all the amount hurt is extremely loopsidede.
