Ganja, you get it and that is the greatest misfortune of the whole post 9/11 misadventure.
Good article on Muslim stereotypes at http://polisci.lsa.umich.edu/documents/tesslerISPArticle.pdf
With stats showing exactly that - that Muslims don't by large numbers, view America as "evil" and they certainly don't think American people are horrid, wrong and whatever adjective. Of course the converse is true though more and more, this light is dimming.
I would also note that Kristof, though usually a strict conservative, rally around the chief type, has also come on board. His weekend column, Muslim Stereotypes, precisely points out the administrations coniving and "evil" ways. I say evil because it is always so, to use a group of people for warmongering , profiteering ends....

After I wrote recently about reform elements in Islam, I received a long note from a 24-year-old Chicagoan, Paul Williams, who ventured what many people feel: �I went to school in Macalester College and the whole time there I wrote paper after paper defending Islam,� he told me. Now, he says, after reading the Koran cover to cover and living in Turkey, he has lapsed into political incorrectness: �The more I�m here the more I�m beginning to think that there�s just something wrong with Islam.�
That�s a common view, shaped partly by the way we in the news business focus on violence in the Islamic world. So let me step up and say that I find the common American stereotypes of Islam profoundly warped. |
This could well be addressed to a few on this board, especially one person who thinks because they've lived in Turkey, they can write all Muslims off..... |
Yes, "write off". Of course dd.
I've read the koran, I know the history and I post with articles from legitimate news sources. And you call names.
Tell me again, great dd, how Malthus is related to my position on the immigration issues of Europe. I did enjoy how you totally misused a comically simple idea, and then came back throwing mud and other typical dd behavior, and yet you were unable to justify your original (and laughably wrong) position. Try. Again. |

Oh please Gopher,,,,,,get "off" it.
There is no secret code and we don't meet in the middle of the night to trade revolutionary treatises.
It simply refers to "the heart of the matter". Get a grip.
