Let me guess, Muslims are the friendly traders who get a free pass on the diseases they bring, but Europeans are to blame, collectively, for the diseases introduced to the new world, even though they basically discovered it because they were trying to get away from 'friendly Muslimns'?
I'll happily blame muslims for any rape and pillage related diseases they spread. I'll even blame black men for raping mexican women. By all means, take your pick. Rape is rape, pillaging is pillaging.
And I'm blaming Europeans collectively now am I? How about we just stick to what I actually said FD - which in case you're still having trouble with, goes something like this: I blame rapists and pillagers for raping and pillaging. I don't blame race, I don't make it a "white" thing, and I certainly don't blame people who didn't do any raping and pillaging. Now I know you can't bring yourself to accept what the Spanish did to the American Indians, and what the Belgians did to the Congolese amounts to rape and pillage, but just pretend you did, and think about who would be to blame for the spread of diseases brought by those rapist and pillagers while they raped and pillaged.

Do you really not know this Gandalf?
So your argument goes - while the Spanish were trying to avoid the muslims to find a way to Asia, they instead stumbled upon the Americas.... so they naturally can't be blamed for raping and pillaging this new continent, spreading disease and enslaving and killing millions.
So basically, we can boil your argument down to: the Spanish can't be blamed for raping and pillaging the Americas because... Islam made them do it.
I'm curious, does that pass even the FD bullshit test?

You brought it up Gandalf.
I did indeed FD, and as usual I did it without once mentioning 'white' or 'black', or anything to do with race. Genius aren't I?
