Gustavus Adolphus who crushed Catholicism once and for all on northern European soil in the 17th century

More accurately, he crushed in northern Europe those aspects of the Catholic faith that were imperialistic and inquisitional, allowing something that resembled a free market in religious ideas to survive. Catholicism was not wiped out by any means as a religion.

“...and an American company like Standard Oil sold vast amounts of fuel to the Luftwaffe.”

You Swedes did very well for yourselves selling to the NAZIs during the war as well.

“Is there a point in arguing over what part of Western Civilization that ought to do more in the field of fighting terrorism?”

There is when the burden falls disproportionally on one group or people. You Swedes seem ok with having my kids defend your freedoms, but collectively balk when your kids are called. We have an old saying here, “A friend in need is a friend indeed.” We’re looking at your actions not your words.

“Or should all of us freedom lovers fight the good fight...?”

We’re waiting. No more talk, do. Uh uh...don’t talk, DO!

That’s where our differences lie.
