You are a selfish motherfucker

I was listening to a discussion in a room about Islam in Skypeland that swerved into a discussion about how evil the United States is, and how they should recruit more people to kill Americans since they are against Islam. I decided I had to go in, and told everyone that we should live together in peace and tolerate each other. I was impressed that most people seemed to agree.

Then a Serbian came into the room about Islam, and said it was a good religion. I said I was surprised since I had heard from many Serbians with different attitudes.

We started talking about World War II and he told me that the United States had not helped England or France or Russia in World War II. He told me that Australia and New Zealand had not participated in World War I or World War II. When I said this did not sound correct, he was dismissive, and said that the United States did not play any important role in the second world war. He said this was especially true since the US had never come to Belgrade in World War II.

Eventually we started talking about Serbian relations with its neighbors, Bosnia, Croatia and Kosovo. He told me that the Bosnians were just Serbians who had converted to Islam after 1955 and then started their own army to try to separate. He told me that the people in Kosovo were just Albanian Muslims who had snuck into Kosovo. He said that all the people in countries around Serbia spoke the Serbian language, so they were all secretly Serbs really who had become Muslims and wanted to separate and were therefore terrorists.

I told him that the US had only gone to the former Yugoslavia because the Europeans had asked for US assistance to stop the killing. He denied this was true, and said that I was a "selfish motherfucker" for wanting to stop the killing of people from Kosovo and Bosnians by Serbians. He said that the US attacked Serbia because they wanted to have a strategic base from which to weaken Russia, and because the US wanted to steal the resources in Kosovo. I asked him what the resources in Kosovo were that the United States was trying to steal, and he said that Kosovo had a recently discovered a deposit of one million tons of nickel and also had a lot of concrete.

Eventually the host returned, and was dismayed that things had gone bad, since he claimed that they had a nice conversation before. I will note that the previous conversation was about how evil Americans are and how Muslims should kill them, but since no one disagreed, it was a "nice" conversation I guess.
