"Whatever happened to the proverb of "The one who sins is the one who will die. The child will not share the guilt of the parent, nor will the parent share the guilt of the child. The righteousness of the righteous will be credited to them, and the wickedness of the wicked will be charged against them."

If we're going to hold every Frenchman in France accountable for the actions of their ancestors why shouldn't we hold every Muslim responsible for every Terrorist in Islam?

Does no one else see how circular this logic is? Are we all trying to start a race war? because that's how you get a race war."

All the wealth Europe gained from colonialism was destroyed in WW2.

Compounded by the fact Europe has one of the best geography for trade, with it's bountiful rivers and inland seas.

And it didn’t help that while Europe was beginning its main colonial age, China was being ruled by the Qing who suppressed Chinese history and science to give legitimacy to their dynasty, and the Mughals in India destroying Sanskrit literature and vedic texts, suppressing innovation there, making it so there was no counterbalance to European rule in the world except the Ottomans (which were arguably European themselves, but that’s another debate)

Europe has always been so resource poor that the Bronze Age eastern Mediterranean powers totally weren't importing Cornish tin to fuel their economies./s

Europe is only recently resource poor after centuries of heavy mining and the resulting depletion which allowed medieval Europe to be on par with the Islamic World by the High Middle Ages to Late Middle Ages in terms of wealth and prosperity. Europe was a major hub for mining and metallurgy, northern Europe specifically providing a lot of the iron, copper, and tin for southern Europe and the Mediterranean at large.

I haven’t seen many people blame all French people for their ancestors’ sins (I DO know such people exist). I HAVE, however, seen people look at my mom funny when she wears hijab, seen a “President” call for people of my religion to be barred from entry, and heard people call me “ISIS”, “suicide bomber”, “sand n-word n-word” etc.

Actually, the reason they are rich today is because of the Marshall Plan and the subsequent economic recovery, not colonialism as by that time, it was no longer profitable and on the way to extinction.

All the wealth Europe gained from colonialism was destroyed in WW2.

The only reason had enough money and resources to partake in not 1 but 2 World Wars is because of economic gains made during the colonial era.

Between the Fall of Rome until about 1500 or so Europe was a backwater crap hole with minor warlords constantly vying for power.

Most websites reporting at this time are Muslim. Most others are too busy to trying to paint all Muslims as terrorists to focus on Muslim victims right now.

Nah, Macron just has to institute aggressive assimilation policies to get rid of this parallel society and it’ll be fine. Remember, Irish Catholics did shit like this in the US too before assimilation

Not beheading, but violent acts that resulted in deaths

Macron is too much of a [censored because that’s apparently against the rules now] to do this stuff though, even Le Pen, who would be open to doing it, would probably be railroaded by the Assembly
