If the thread were neutrally titled, something like "History of East-West conflict since ......" this wouldn't have to have come up until it's actually stated or implied in the thread later.
Not to mention that throughout the thread all of Jar's aggression implications fingered the West as the aggressors. He not only set the tone of the thread up implicating the West as aggressive, but continued in that tone, thus setting up a debate due to the alternative views of others. But alas, debate was simply disallowed as off topic.
As for religion, well Jar himself introduced that both in the title, i.e. Islamic world and in recent post or two, the
Christian West...., thus, implicating Christianity as the ideology of the alleged aggressors.
Mind you, I'm not saying there was no aggression atol by the West. I'm saying it was not solely from the West.
