Ok, but please don't post generic religious or nationalistic flamewar comments to HN. I'm sure you didn't intend it that way, but that's what this is—especially when it gets upvoted to the top of the page, as these things often do.

We're trying to avoid generic ideological tangents in general because they're the most predictable sort of internet discussion. The same points simply repeat in endless circulation. That may be fine for certain kinds of conversation but it's not fine for a forum dedicated to intellectual curiosity, which is served by diving in into what is specific and different about a situation.

Edit: actually, given how badly you broke the site guidelines with religious flamewar elsewhere in the thread, I've banned the account. Please see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34404910, and please don't create accounts to break HN's rules with.
