We won Lepanto battle. If I try to avoid unnecessary offenses, it isn't to be politically correct but because my opinion is doing that is a bad strategy. How to explain better? if you want deactivate an explosive bomb, you don't hammer like a crazy bersekers but you analyze and search the cable to be cut. If the new youngest generations from Turkey, Iran or Morocco want to be free and living like western citizens, then we have to send the message we want to help them against radical takfirism ( = when some Muslims accuse their coreligionists to be not good believers). We must say to hate and xenophobe are wrong or they will think they have to choose between supporter anti-Western radical or suffering our stupy hate and prejudices. I don't like islamophobia because this really helps jihadism and we don't notice about that. Better saying the true believer is who defends the respect for human dignity. About being politically correct, why do you think the action-live movie of Assasin's Creed isn't wrong when the Christians are the bad guys, and the Muslims the "victims"? Does that film the Granada war was started by Muslim king Muley Hacen? Christians were the attacked ones. What if the teleserie "the maid's tale" wasn't set in a "ultra-Christian" dystopian, but in a communist dictatorship or a taliban feud, wouldn't we listen complains? Listen me: reporting machismo (male chauvinism), racism, islamophobia, xenophobia or homophobia isn't enough. The true key is obeying the natural law and defending the respect for the human dignity. Without this, in the name of the freedom and the revolution more innocent people were killed than war for the middle age, and the fall of a tyrant is replaced with a new one, sometimes worse than the previous one. Why can't I tell a version (with happy end) of the Washinton Irving's legend "the rose of the Alhambra" about daughters of a Muslim king who escape to marry with their Christians boyfriends? but is pollitically correct a love story among a Muslim boy and a Christian girl, isn't it double standard?A solution could be to use a fictional world, for example 7th Sea 1868, but anytime it isn't enough (let's imagine the Game Master is Spanish-speaker, and then in his version of 7th Sea rpg Castillians are the coolest guys from Teath, and Avalon is ruled by mason lodges controlled by vampire clans who want to destroy Vatican church because the religious faith is their Aquiles' Talon).  Can I create for a RPG a cyberpunk dystopia set in Russia or China where the evil corporations are ruled by former politicians who took advantage of "revolving doors"? (capitalist nightmare? No, nightmare because corporatisms don't allow true free market) Can't I create a background for a (post-)cyberpunk RPG to explain the reason because Keynes' ideas about economy are wrong, and Ayn Rand, Friedich Hayek, Tomas Sowell and Milton Freedman are right? But a new fiction work like Robocop with anti-capitalist propaganda is right, isn't it? Why worrying about being polite with any communities but not with others?</blockquote>
