Sjayne, i know what you are saying. especially this part, "Keep in mind you only see what the person who edits the footage wants you to see."
you have to realize that their news media hasn't made the U.S. look too good either.
blame it all on the fucking ignorant majority.

You know that footage of people dancing in the streets in Palestine? The one with the larger lady in the black headdress? Well you know what the US media isn't showing the whole of that footage. Over here on the BBC a few hours ago I saw the full footage. I saw the police in that country come up to her and the other people and slap them down and scream at them for being a moron. I heard reports of people in Lebanon being arrested for protests.
Keep in mind you only see what the person who edits the footage wants you to see.
Calling people dot heads and towel heads is something 10 years old childern of racists do. Are you teaching your kids to go to school and say these things to their classmates? If so shame on you!
Of course you are upset. I don't think doesn't know someone who was directly effected by this. My step daughter found out today one of her best friends is in hospital with glass in her eye from the falling debris. However there is NO excuse some of the comments I have read on these various threads. Especially the comment about rounding up all arabs and killing them. How is that *any* different than what these pigs did? Insert Jewish in that statement and we have something many of our grandparents fought against.
You can not in one breath damn all Arabs anywhere as people that deserve to die and then in the other breath say 'but it would be illeagal to damge their shops'. It is hypocritical and it is wrong.
Also you know not all Arabs have the same religious beliefs. Not all Islamic people are extremists. Just like not all Christian people killed Jewish people in WW2. Not Everyone with a 'dot' on their head is an Arab and not all islamic people look like Arabs. Does Louis Farikan look Arab? I disagree with every word that man says but I also know he doesn't speak for every beliver of Islam.
It is also times like this where the KKK and other such groups do all they can to whip up racist opnion and then they recruit. Don't buy into it and don't help them out.
You guys are good people saying bad things.
