Thank you for whitewashing history including the pogrom that happened to my ancestors. Thank you for making Muslims in those countries so infantile in your eyes that they don't have the agency to speak for themselves in regular surveys. I gave you a Pew research poll. I have spent a quarter of my life in those regions. Thank you for dismissing my experience just because you, as a Non Jew, have another. I have wonderful and dear friends, one is the Grandson of the Turkish Foreign Minister who saved thousands of Jews in France in World War 2. Muslims and Jews have a lot in common, but that doesn't take away from the fact we have been second class citizens in Muslim lands for most of the last 1400 years. And faced pogroms. It was just better than Europe, but that just reflects how bad Europe was.
