Colonialism is nothing to be ashamed of. But it's been made that way with this new revisionist history that's being shoved down our throats. Even a great and decent man like George Washington is being trashed today. Colonialism was one of the best things that ever happened to this world. It brought us into the modern world. I'd like to see islam do that. I find it completely appalling that some muslims thumb their noses at colonialism. Most of them don't even know what it was or what it did. The entire world benefited from colonialism but you would be hard pressed to find any gratitude. To all muslims:

YOU'RE RUNNING OUT OF EXCUSES!
