Today Emmy and I talked about Nietzsche because I bumped into her in the SCC reading Nietzsche.
I googled "understanding European modernity" and bumped into this page and what was written scared the shit out of me and I feel so vulnerable again.
I argued with Stefan about Islam and the West yesterday while walking him to the commuter rail station. I vaguely feel that if he weren't white or European I would be more ready to agree with him on the fact that Islam is worse than Christianity, even though objectively I still disagree with that claim. I don't think it's academically honest to compare radical Islam with the modern version of secular Christianity, turning a blind eye from the European and colonial history of witch burning and religious persecution.
