You have extended the topic really too far.
We should never forget the history and that is why China builds stronger army to protect itself. We won't let the past repeat. However, that is not what is talked about here.
The talk here is about French's ban on Burqa since it is a symbol of repressing against women. And I strongly support French's ban on this full facial covered clothes.
About stirring up the tension between Chinese and Muslims??? You are saying that as Chinese, I cannot point out those ugly problems that exist in current muslim culture and countries???
Even in muslims, there are some members who still posess common sense, e.g. from post #270 on page 18:
"Islamic countries do not let non-Muslims open bars, Saudi Arabia doesn't let temples, churches, or anything else be constructed in their country. We expect non-Muslims to live by our standards, but we cry 'freedom & secular democracy' in their situation. Typical hypocrisy.
The truth of the better is, even with this face veil thing, they are far more respectful to our religion than we are to theirs. In the US, we have our mosques, Islamic (Sunday) schools, Islamic centers, Imam Bargahs (for Shias). No one kills in the name of religion. We have Taraweeh during Ramadhan for our Sunni brothers, Friday prayers for everyone, we have full freedom observing Lailut-Qadr in Ramadhan & Ashoora in Muharram. Hijabi women are not left out of any way. Niqabi women however, create an awkward situation for everyone."
By your logic, Japan has done the "rape of nanjing", so we should bomb Japan now???
France and U.K. have started two opium wars and we should invade them to get our revenge???
Well, Libya has never invaded China, why don't we let Gaddafi wipe out all of those rebels?
Well, Egypt and China has never had any war in between and China has good relation with Egypt. Why don't we give more tanks and weapons and let Mubarak kill all of those who are against him???
Your logic is really twisted.
Those who have not invaded or exploited China do not indicated they are on the right side. Those who have done wrong to China in the past do not mean they are always against China.
A so-called "friend" who always pick the good words to praise and choose to ignore the dark and ugly facts is a good friend???
In that case, the whole Europe chose to ignore Hitler's cleansing of Jews for a long time just to remain friends with Germany. Are they the true friends of German people???
Keep your focus or drop it.
You wanna stir up the tension the Chinese and the Muslims. What is your true motive?
Did the Muslims sell the opium to China?
Did the Muslims burn down our palace?
Did the Muslims occupy our country as 8 invading nations?
Did the Muslims exploit the Chinese workers in building the railway?
Did the Muslims rob our land in Northeast Asia and Outer Mongolia?
Did the Muslims commit the massacre in Nanjing?
China sees most of the Muslim nations as a fellow companion who both shared a unfortunate future.
Only the West and its puppets wanna see they both kill each other.
