So public opinion in the Middle East is aggressive and negative towards the West, Judaism and Christianity… Shocker: Thanks to ATW and the Granuaid.
How this fits with my post, An Opportunity, I don’t know… Although a look at Pakistan’s responses muddies clarity no end!

“In 1985,air India flight 182 was blown up while flying from Toronto to London.All 329 people aboard were killed.Proportionate to their respective populations,the scale of loss of life due to one terrorist attack for Canada was similar to that of 9/11 for America.And we knew almost immediately who the culprits were:Sikh terrorists seeking independence from India.
“Now consider what Canada did not do:it did not dispatch its military forces to India to drain the swamp of terrorism in Punjab,nor declare a global war on terror, nor demand that Washington carefully screen all Sikh migrants and visitors henceforth.
“Rather,it increased and improved airport security measures, launched a criminal investigation, and prosecuted the alleged perpetrators in court. The court action failed ultimately,but that is a price we accept in democracies:it is called the rule of law,where prosecution by the government does not entail presumption of guilt and certainty of conviction.
“Yet the menace of Sikh terrorism has more or less disappeared,from India as much as in Canada,and the Sikhs are valuable and valued members of modern Canadian society steeped in the ethos of muticulturalism.”

So Canada did not attack a secular country that happened to produce terrorists who were against its very being…? I’m not sure what we’ve learnt here.
The countries in ATW’s statistics were almost entirely Islamic politically…
