The costs of war after 911 (there were plenty before). This is what collective punishment looks like. Is there anywhere in the history of man that European powers have inflicted such collective punishment on a people? Some might even call this a genocide. Instead of bringing the perpetrators to justice they targeted much of the Muslim people around the world, and other powers such as Israel, India, Russia, China, Africa, Assad and others, joined in these “terror wars” against Muslims in their midst.
In 20 years the lives of Muslims became a blood sport. Collective punishment for the crimes of some people against all of a people from that race or religion is wrong by anyone. This could only be done because of the persistent hate against Islam and Muslims that had existed in Europe for centuries.
