I simply said let the guy figure things out for himself, and dont need to sermon and steer him...and micromanage him as to who he should and shouldnt engage with and make common cause on something with.
Some lessons are best learned the long arduous way.
You make the choices you want to and you own them and fix them if needed in the end if you are rational and reasonable enough....just like the East Bengalis did...after the founding concept of faith-brotherhood at expense of all else that makes a nation tick came crashing down.
If you find people in remaining rump-state, conveniently split from the sordid affair by geography and much else..... that haven't learned from that, put a mental block on it even or even justify that grievous perpetration as good or fair (given this topic title is about the "genocide of muslims"...and that's clearly the biggest one done with full political direction and backing in the region and not very long ago either). If you find them as "sympathetic" to you...that is your finding to make...no one elses. No one should be concerned about it, you are the owner and bearer of your conscience....no one else.
If roles were reversed, I'm sorry I would not make any common cause with a country of hindus that genocided fellow hindus (and people of all faiths and identities in general to begin with)...simply because I am some Hindu like them and they assert or shower some sympathy to me in the current day as I live as a minority under oppression. Not till they come clean on it at the very least like the Germans did post-nuremberg. Its really that simple to me. I would not find them credible, I would not find their claim of support and sympathy genuine in the slightest. I would find it distasteful and repugnant. I would query each one specifically first on that subject, a clear litmus test on consistency for this topic....before accepting any support on the grander overall subject.
Who supports you on something is intrinsically linked to the why...as their support (on such hypocritical grounds) can, in fact will.... weaken your own position. That's my opinion and perspective. It need not be yours or anyone elses, and I do not impose them on anyone.
If its not so simple to you or a view you share at all, so be it...we are simply going to have to move on to another topic, there is nothing much left to say. This in fact will be my last post in this thread.
In the end the ongoing issue is by our people, it will have to be fixed by our people, no one else...its none of their business. People should also not have to be micromanaged on it and sermonized to, the avenues and attitudes that exist for doing so are rather the root of the problem and strife. The choices you make on everything is your right, as long as they do not impose on my rights. Nothing does so here obviously, so I simply said let it be and let what arises from it also be.
Yes this is somewhat blowing off steam too, you really think I am after changing your opinion or choices on this forum? Nope....I didn't even address you initially, I addressed the one trying to steer you in his own way...and told him theres a better way to proceed in my opinion....letting them be, and letting them learn things themselves. Most of my posts are for few worthies in the audience rather than specific members being quoted/replied to begin with.
