@wonka : I honestly don't know and my personal opinion is irrelevant.

This question should primarily be answered by the Ukrainian people. It is their land, not mine.

The only thing I can do is try to help de-escalate and to remind everyone (those prepared to listen to me) that all of us have human rights. That is, everyone must have *the same* rights.

We're lost if we stop respecting human beings whom we know nothing about. It is precisely the old definition of anti-semitism: hating *any* Jew, purely based on prejudice.

It's racism: believing that you are a better person than anyone who differs from you in any way, EXCEPT for opinion and/or behavior.

I don't have to like Muslims. I want to respect them, just as I insist that they respect me.

However, If Muslims beat up a gay person or drive their truck into a mob, I refuse to hate them because they are Muslims. I *do* hate them for being idiots.

Just like I hate Google for being evil (but that's another, albeit hate-related, topic).
