But I think you'd agree that Peters is saying neither of these things, given his
comparing Europe to the (Old) Deep South i.e. to a place of deeply
institutionalized systematic and systemic racism, often openly violent. A
place
where black people were routinely denied their voting rights and threatened (or
worse)
when they tried to register to vote. A place of lynchings. A place where
civil rights workers were murdered.
Your "but the common people are not going along with these decisions"
suggests you endorse maltreatment of Muslims. I trust not,
