Salaam,
We are talking two different languages. So let us remain on one topic. I posted a topic on the release of 14 Saudi's from Gunatanamo. Please take the time to read. Not one was involved in the "terrorist" plots.
I am stating that the western media is in bed with western politics. That is the truth. I am not going to educate you on who the owners of the media are. But case in point. Do you really believe anything written in the NY Times?
Did you not read my post on the media cutting and pasting the 911 footage? Why do you think that the media is not covering Iraq anymore..or were you unaware that the major news channels decided the American public did not need to know and it is too expensive to cover?
And as a Muslim, I have to state, write, think , and act with the knowledge that there is nothing wrong with Islam. Islam is perfect. However, Muslims are humans and that is another topic.
In the western world teenage girls are raped by the boyfriends of their mothers, young boys are sodomized by priests, males are allowed to marry men and women are allowed to marry women...people with broken bones are refused services at the hospitals because they do not have insurance...soliders with post truamatic stress syndrome are sent back to Iraq...soliders with massive injuries have to pay for their food while in the hospital etc.etc, etc..
If we feel the west is right we are in trouble. We must learn to trust Muslims.
I don't think some of your points on America are correct....I think if the American public knew what is going on, really in Palestine, you find them lining streets against Israel. ALSO.....there is free health care here, it's called medicaid......there are community hospitals that you can go to for services.....I think there is somewhat a large misrepresentation of the America I know and what the world is thinking of us. They stopped putting so much info about Iraq on the news because they are failing and they screwed up and rather than say so, the GOVERNMENT is covering their mess. The public here KNOWS that.......and the vast majority of Americans want out of Iraq, but are of the opinon that we messed the country up so we have to clean up the mess and help with stability.
I am American, I am proud.....I want the world to change as much as the next person but I know that the problem is much to large for ME or my neighbor to fix........
What is it that John Mayer sings......
me and all my friends
we're all misunderstood
they say we stand for nothing and
there's no way we ever could
now we see everything that's going wrong
with the world and those who lead it
we just feel like we don't have the means
to rise above and beat it
so we keep waiting
(waiting)
waiting on the world to change
we keep on waiting
(waiting)
waiting on the world to change
it's hard to beat the system
when we're standing at a distance
so we keep waiting
(waiting)
waiting on the world to change
now if we had the power
to bring our neighbors home from war
they would have never missed a Christmas
no more ribbons on their door
and when you trust your television
what you get is what you got
cause when they own the information, oh
they can bend it all they want

that's why we're waiting
(waiting)
waiting on the world to change
we keep on waiting
(waiting)
waiting on the world to change
it's not that we don't care,
we just know that the fight ain't fair
so we keep on waiting
(waiting)
waiting on the world to change
and we're still waiting
(waiting)
waiting on the world to change
we keep on waiting
(waiting)
waiting on the world to change
one day our generation
is gonna rule the population
so we keep on waiting
(waiting)
waiting on the world to change
now we keep on waiting
(waiting)
waiting on the world to change
waiting on the world to change(x4)
