This is not a stretching of the parent's position; parent specifically asks "If your enemy thinks like you, acts like you, shares your values and views the world the way you do, can he be your enemy? Why would he be your enemy?"

I'm one of several people pointing out that the question is ludicrous. Your enemies are far more likely to be quite similar to you than they are to be different. Parent's position was overwrought when it was posed, not because I did something to it.



The parent was talking on a demographic level. You turned it into absurdity by taking it to an individual level ('those foreigners specifically want my spouse!').
