I'm not necessarily offended, but rather being someone from a culture and a faith that suffers greatly from westerners making unfair generalizations, you bewilder me when you do the same.
What you say is true of SOME Christians, but not of all. Peace be upon you.

Not really.
It is true of MOST.
The exceptions don't make the rules.
And you might reconsider talking about my culture, because you don't seem be familiar with it. You seem to be assuming Islam is my culture? Nah.

@Miram I'm sorry... I thought I saw a post from you once implying an Islamic background. If I was mistaken, then of course I apologize.
But my point remains the same. No group as large as "Christians" is homogenous.

Doesn't need be homogenous to have similar attitude of indifference. So even this point does not really convince me I am on the wrong.
I will change my mind when I see large scale actions that reflect the good parts of the faith.

I also assume you thought I am an Arab. Because I can't see how you would link my mother culture to Islam. Lot of us are Christians. Witches. Atheists. Pagans.
As to the arab culture, it is also common mistake for people to link it to Islam..
Modern Christianity is not exclusive to the west. Christianity can also be linked to the Arab culture. In fact it is closer to some of the arab cultures than to your cultures.
________
If I were an arab Muslim and made the statement I have (which I am not), it also doesn't change its truth by the way.
And generalization made by an arab is not in any way equivalent to systematic targeting of them by the west. It is words, yours are actions.
And yeah, not all general statements are false.
