Do they actually believe that nonsense? Anyone who has read about the Greek Dark Ages and the SEA peoples invasion of Egypt, will know that's simply not true. The only reason Modern day Westerners are ''Tolerant''and ''Peaceful'' is thanks to the Economic prosperity of the West and the fact that they are at the top. Take those two things out, and they will be just as Imperialistic and Violent as their ancestors.
