Originally posted by ABTsportsline i never said there wasn't propaganda in the US, but the "propaganda" over here is FARRRR different from the propaganda in the middle east and even the terrorist groups in the far east... our propaganda is mostly focusing on OUR country's positivities, patriotism, etc... we are not told that "arabs are evil" (much like how the middle east teaches their residents that "americans are evil".... we do not promote a "jihad", we do not say "go out and kill arabs".... matter of fact, we give the ones here refuge... I have seen some of the propaganda from over there (when i was over there), and you'd be surprised the likeness of their anti-US advertising campaign to hitler's anti-semetic campaign of the 30's and 40's. Their propaganda is designed to teach hatred of ALL americans - even women and children, as they see we are all products of the devil...

I agree completely. That's the line of thinking I concluded after I started thinking about the issue...

I was never tought to think that arabs are evil, or anyone really. American propaganda is benevolent by nature.

However the arab propaganda, you are completely right... I just dont understand people who complain about American propaganda, it's just telling us to appreciate our freedoms more, whereas arab propaganda is telling arab people to kill us. That and they dont have the freedom of the press, so they are free to play the Joseph Gobbles propaganda hate card at will.

If anyone thinks American propaganda is more dangerous than Arab propaganda their probably already brainwashed by the anti-american propaganda.

Originally posted by ABTsportsline You have any idea of how amazed they are when they see a FEMALE staff sergeant barking orders at a MALE airman, and she is NOT covering her face, and she is making her own decisions.... they think we are products of hell man! Instead of being mature enough to realize cultural differences, they think we need to be slaughtered (or at least this is what their propaganda propagates...)

You can't generlize! that might be the case for some extremly religous and close minded people, but I can tell you for a fact that's not the mentality people have where i'm from!

one important thing is that many people believe arabs is the same thing as muslim which is wrong
for an example the biggest muslimpopulated country in the world is Indonesia which is not an arab country.
Me myself i'm afghan, muslim and love trance
so hey why be so narrow-minded. Life is too short to be racist, evil and shit.
Love peace and trance from Afghanistan

if you see a muslim and you think he's a terrorist, so you're the one that's creating terrorism, let's don't let ourselves be fooled by the image, it's the goverments and it's politics, that create us and show us what they want us to see..... which if we believe, it means that we are trapped in their system......

personaly, i dont really think any of our opinions are relatively to concrete in the sense that they can be backed up by tons of good evidence. but i think im going to have to agree with jploveparade, yet again, that bastard... hah... what he said about " People need to learn that politics and religion do not match! " i agree with him completely....and in every sect/religion/group im sure there is a bad apple...this has been proven throughout history in various different cultures, across cultures! so its pretty much fact, that human nature is not inherently good or bad, but that there are many factors that are important to an individuals actions to a certain 'thing', such as his upbringing, his invironment, past-circumstances, etc...

maaz >But anyways, HABIB'S does kick ass! i go there all the time to hit the arguillas all the time ..but i only know of like one or two HABIB'S in panama.

peeps> one more note, when i hear an american talking about any subject related to this, usually i dont even want to bother, because i know i might sound kind of like an asshole right now, but if your looking at it from a 3rd person perspective, most of the people i hear from the US who talk about arabs/muslims etc sound kind of ignorant or brainswashed, one of the two... NOT ALL OF YOU !! just most of the ones i have been unfortunate enough to have to sit down and listen to ramble on about whats true and whats not. CNN/BBC all these news stations are not to be taken 100% seriously of course, and you might as well change the channel when it comes to commercials. But anyways, peace.

Alright, my personal opinion is that everyone has a dark-side, Muslims, Americans, and each and every person on this planet. It is important to stand-up for your religion. Hundreds of people die every day from some religious organization striking out against another.

The foundation of our belife structure is brought to us...taught adapted and changed as we grow older. The people that influance us on a day to day basis infuance our belifes. We have to discern what

I dont hate Muslim people but Terrorists. Muslims have a foundation in their religion that is based on peace and rightousness, like every religion there are finatics that take things into there own hands and these are the people to deal with not Muslims themselves.
