Are we talking about the same Europe.....?

... the one creating 2 World Wars. With millions of deaths. Hang on, about 72 million in one and around 40 in other. That is about 112 million and majority dead Europeans. No wonder the continent needed so many people to maintain economy and structure.

The same European Colonization that raped America, Australia, Canada, Africa and Asia. In India for example the Europeans oh the British actually thought they will replace the native culture? The same India that will now rise to be become an economic super power after China?

Now admittedly Africa has problems and had them and likely would have had them..... but the rape of Zimbabwe when the country was divided among white people getting huge chunks.... or how about South Africa.

How about the division of Arabia into smaller states when Europe left or the division of India (one of the saddest tragedy in human history), a great Nation?

Oh .... Islam lets see the mark Islam left . An intrinsic part of India. Majority religion of Arabs and well bred in Africa too. There are tragedies caused by Muslims ... of course many.

But the on the scale what precious Europe did? Hell NO. Now do you want to go into more details and compare....? Who really spread by sword Islam or the West.
