    Fellow – sharing a particular activity, quality, or condition with someone or something.

    So yeah - that part was covered. Also “man” in this context is short for Human, not man as in male.

    Reading comprehension for the win!

      ‘fellow man’ is normally used to mean any other human, not only those with certain traits

        I mean, if you just wanted to let everyone know that you’re prejudiced, you could have just come out and said it directly.

          Reading comprehension is not your strong point is it.

          You said fellowman, as in you believe the only people in Europe who care about other people at all are Muslims. Seeing as this is too ridiculous to be your meaning we are left to wonder.

          Did you not mean to say Muslims would be concerned about what is happening to fellow Muslims?

            Critical thinking isn’t your strong suit, is it?

            He said fellow man, not fellowman, as in he is suggesting that people in France and Germany take exception to the indiscriminate murder of other human beings, of any religious affiliation, taking place as a result of the Israeli occupation of Gaza.

            How you weren’t able to comprehend this with your clearly superior reading comprehension skills is a mystery that is too ridiculous to comprehend, so we are left to wonder.

              That’s because France and Germany have the largest Muslim populations in Europe. Turns out, they don’t like their fellow man being murdered indiscriminately.

              He is referring to the Muslim population, not that people in France and Germany as a whole do.

                My brother in Christ, there is no fix for stupid, and for that I’m sorry. Best of luck in your future endeavors, I can tell you’re going to need it.
