fixed for you Frank.
No, you didn't. It is very, very easy to interpret Islam as a solid basis for violent jihad.
Try interpreting Gandhi...
Gandhi's notion of satyagraha, or "truth force", was influenced by Islam. The modern practice of civil disobedience and passive resistance, which Gandhi invented, is heavily inspired by spiritual struggle, or jihad.
When Muhammed Ali refused to be drafted to fight in Vietnam ("no Vietnamese ever called me n----r"), he didn't reference Gandhi, but Muhammed.
You may cite Gandhi, old boy, but your regularly incite violent warfare against your perceived opponents. If all you did here was express your disagreement with your opponents, you might have some integrity. But your calls cover a broad spectrum of violence, from burqa-snatching to carpet-bombing. You target a range of opponents, from those you accuse of "not fitting in" (the bearded) to people with a certain shade of skin pigmentation (the tinted).
All this would be fine if you just acknowledged your tribalism. You don't stand up for Western Enlightenment values, as you claim, but an elitist, white privileged mindset - a notion of entitlement based on your own ancestry and self-professed superiority. You impatiently tolerate "the tinted races" if they know their place and express their subservience to you. You've said this many times. You like to quote Kipling's White Man's Burden, expressing the noble act of keeping the tinted races in their place.
Maintaining the suppression of those you see as inferior requires constant violence, and you scorn anyone who questions the necessity of such violence. This would be fine too if you just owned up to it, but you express such violence while you invoke the Western liberal tradition, feigning a higher cause - liberty, justice, human rights, the rule of law - while you advocate the erosion of all these things.
No worries, old boy, we understand. You uphold liberal principles and social justice for a select few. For the rest of humanity, you advocate - what do you call it?
Submission.
White man's burden, innit.
