THE M-WORD

[nyerekareem]

:salam2:
I have always been a fan of politics. I have always liked to watch the campaign ads because I always found them to be funny and very entertaining. I have heard it all before: “ this guy is corrupt. “ , “ this one is unfaithful to his wife. “ ; i understand all of their tactics. but there has become a trend not only by some politicians, but also by some candidates to use the word “ MUSLIM “ as a bad thing. it’s being used as a curse word in a sense.

Barack Obama, is always being accused of being a Muslim, and for that very rumour it has been more than enough for some people not to vote for him. People are always mentioning his middle name which happens to be HUSSEIN as a means to insult him and to further declare him ineligible for the presidency. I am in no way endorsing Senator Obama, but I am sick and tired of people using my faith as a scarlet letter.

I just really feel that the Muslim community needs to be more vocal in expressing their unhappiness with the way that the words Islam and Muslims are used in an attempt to make us ashamed, evil people and they symbol of being unpatriotic.

:salam2:You are right dear brother,in my case even if they gave me millions i would n t live in that country the way it has turned out to be.I used to have a different view of the U.S as little boy i wasn t aware you know MJ ,Brando, Miles Davies and king Kong saving the blond....
They made it all friendly at the surface everything seemed gentle as long as one hasn t had the time to grow and develop a critical mind.Still some people can t grow over Santa i guess over there.

I think America is just like i used to be a teenager in the middle of an identity crisis as i heard someone say.

Right now am happy to be able to give you more of an outsider view than an insightful one.Alhamdulillah

yallah Asta luego and be safe.
