British = Centuries of "Complete Disregard For Indigenous Peoples"

Submitted by James (United States), Aug 10, 2010 at 02:53

Britain conquered half the damn world and treated the indigenous peoples of their conquests as inferior "savages," and generally enslaved them...or at best, made indentured servants out of them. They did it to blacks, Muslims, Hindus, Aborigines, and all other manner of people whom their Empire steamrolled over the course of centuries. And now we're going to talk about Muslims "colonizing" Britain with "complete disregard for indigeous (sic) people," only seeking to "oppress and enslave them?"

Hello, irony...nice to see you again. Christ, you're EVERYWHERE on the internet, aren't you?

Seriously ...
