Asslamo Allaikum,
I think I made a mistake by posting this video because it was meant to be a light-hearted thing but it is turning into a vicious attack on the sanity of the Yankees (slang for Americans used in the UK).
1) Having lived, studied and worked in the US of A; I don’t believe that they are stupid rather I think they lack exposure. If you evaluate the News media, books, Sports and other things you will notice that they are very America-centric therefore people don’t get to know about the outside world
2) The lower education System in America is inferior to most Western countries and even to some third world countries, again suggesting lack of preparation and exposure and not necessarily stupidity
3) In the current climate I believe that the Yankees are a soft target so everyone is out to bash them; although I do admit that they have a “Stupid” President (school/college scores, university results, geographical knowledge etc.)
4) Please understand that a lot of reverts also come from US of A so our comments might be hurtful to them; although most (almost all) in my experience take it in good humour. If we are to think that Yankees are stupid what does that say about the growth of Islam in USA??? Hmm…I hate to find out. Reverts to Islam still carry habits, traits and other characteristics of their people; just like we do from our background (i.e. Pakistani, Egyptian, Indian, Saudi)….
5) When I was studying in Saudi Arabia; the students often used to say that “People do this in the West & its disgusting; pointing to issues like Tahara & so on” and I used to tell them to say “Non-Muslims do this in the West” as a number of people in the West are Muslims (born & reverts) & lets not throw the baby out with the bath water
To all my Americans Brothers/Sisters…Sorry for calling ya’all Yankees; I just like the term instead of Americans.
To all my British Brothers/Sisters…don’t gloat over the Americans; you don’t want me to start putting English/Irish/Scottish/Welsh jokes on TTI…Stiff upper lip, cheap-skates, fascination with sheep and all that
To all my Asian Brothers/Sisters…Don’t even go there; there is plenty in the tank about you guys where that came from…Like why did the Romans built Straight roads; so the Asians won’t be able to have corner shops etc…
To all my Arab Brothers/Sisters…Let me finish my Dr “Bebber” before talking about you guys…
P.S: These are meant to be a light-hearted comment.
P.P.S: TTI Admins…Can I put some European/Asian/Arab bashing jokes? I have an obligation because of my blue passport.
Please! Please! Please!
