“Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armour yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you.” -Tyrion Lannister, A Game Of Thrones

Were you peaceful and respectful of everyone when you colonized other countries and enslaved their people?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_PortugalSlaves in Macau
Most slaves in Macau were African slaves brought over by the Portuguese. The Portuguese also brought over Indian slaves.[22]
The first time an english person learned Chinese was from an African slave who managed to flee Macao to go into China.[23]
During the 17th century some 5,000 slaves lived in Macao, in addition to 2,000 Portuguese and 20,000 Chinese.[24][25][26] 25 Patacas was the cost of one Mozambique slave.[27]
In the 1800s during the Qing dynasty, the British consul noticed that some Portuguese were buying adolescent children from 5 to 8 years old.[28]
On June 24, 1622, the Dutch attacked Macau in the Battle of Macau, expecting to turn it into a Dutch possession after its conquest. African slaves who fought for the Portuguese repulsed the Dutch attack, and the Dutch never tried to conquer Macau again. The majority of the defenders were Africans slaves, with only a few Portuguese soldiers and Priests. Captain Kornelis Reyerszoon was commander of the 800 Dutch strong invasion force.[29][30][31][32]
The Dutch Governor Jan Coen said after the defeat that "The slaves of the Portuguese at Macao served them so well and faithfully, that it was they who defeated and drove away our people there last year", and "Our people saw very few Portuguese" during the battle.[33][34][35][36]
[edit]
Macao Coolie Slave trade
After British pressure to abolish slavery, replacement was needed for the African slaves. The Portuguese then turned Macau into a coolie trading center, sending Chinese coolie laborers to the Americas in what was a de facto slave trade. Abuses were rife, and the British took note of it and tried to pressure Portugal into ending it.[37][38][39][40]
[edit]
Treatment
Whilst being shipped to Portugal, slaves were fastened and chained with manacles, padlocks, and rings around the neck.[41] Portuguese owners could whip, chain, and pour burning hot wax and fat onto the skin of their slaves, and punish their slaves in any way they wished as long as they did not die.[42] The Portuguese also used Branding irons to brand their slaves to mark them as property.[43]
[edit]
Banning
Some voices against the slave trade were raised quite early on. Already in the first European book published in Europe, that by the Gaspar da Cruz, the Dominican friar explained that any arguments by the slave traffickers that they "legally" purchased already-enslaved children were bogus.[44]
In 1595 a law was passed banning the selling and buying of Chinese slaves.[45] Then on February 19, 1624, the King of Portugal forbade the enslavement of Chinese of either sex.[46][47] The laws were not able to stop the trade, small numbers of Chinese children (mostly boys) were enslaved in Portugal for 200 years up to the 1700s.[48] Many Chinese men were kidnapped as children from Macau and sold as slaves in Lisbon.[49] In the 16th century, a small number of Chinese slaves were owned by Portuguese in southern Portugal, 29-34 people.[50] The Portuguese prized Chinese slaves.[51] In 1595 a law was passed banning the selling and buying of Chinese slaves.[52] On 19 February 1624, the King of Portugal forbade the enslavement of Chinese of either sex, but this was often ignored.[53] The Qianlong Emperor also called for the trade to be stopped in 1744, and reiterated his order in 1750.[49]
In the American colonies, Portugal halted the use of Chinese, Japanese, Europeans, and Indians to work as slaves for sugar plantations, reserving it exclusively for the Africans.[54]
The abolition of all forms of slavery took place in 1761 in mainland Portugal and Portuguese India. In the Portuguese African colonies slavery was outlawed in the first half of the 19th century after Brazil, which demanded most of the slaves traded within the Portuguese Empire, became independent from Portugal in 1822.
Then why would they be peaceful with you now?

seems that mary is not wearing that ninja outfit for nothing
Anyway Jews did more for the US and Europe ( scientifically, technologically and culturally ) than muslims ( like Turks ) will ever do.
I think this stands if we neglect that childish thinking that Jews are the cause of immigrants and similiar shit
