(3,386 posts)You don't get to define the movement. Just as I wouldn't dream of defining Catholicism or Buddhism because I'm not a Buddhist or a Catholic. You don't have the right to imput ideas to a movement that it doesn't actually have. You can critique what people do in the name of that movement. You can say that what they do is outside the accepted beliefs of the movement. What you can't do,what no one has the right to do, is say that whatever you don't like about what people do is that movement. It would be like me saying that the Catholic dogma includes pedophilia because some priests are pedophiles. That's not fair.
And I'm not even sure what you mean about "bringing ethnicity into this." That is what the thread is about, whether the attack on a particular ethnicity's national existence is anti that ethnicity. Per se it is.
