12692758, Context is important. That's what I said.

And we're talking about a context in France which is very different than the context in Iraq.

You can't pretend that things exist in a vacuum.

I disagree with Muslims in Iraq oppressing Christians. The power dynamics there are different, and as I said, I stand with the oppressed.

And it's not that the religious extremists are victims. Muslims in general in France (and The West) are. The extremists have a decidedly terrible way of dealing with things though, for which many many innocent muslims will be paying the price.

Please forgive all the edits. Like I said... I'm trying to work through this.
