Tell you what my man fable . You tell everyone why middle eastern cultures are as good as the west so we can all have a look or a laugh.
Lets just see how many people will agree with you.

You damn SOB. You piece of ****. I would really love to kick your ass.
Posted by the same ass- Just seems the problems in those countries have caused angst among people who are looking for a scapegoat like USA and not themselves.
This is the same argument presented on Fox News and I am not alone.
Anyone else agree?
They have their reasons to hate the US.
I am not saying i support their reasons but these are the facts.
After England established Israel, the palestinians were thrown out. So they have their right to be pissed.
I also want to point out while i was listening to Bin Laden's speech after US attacked the Taliban, i noticed some things.
Bin Laden mentioned why does nobody care about the Palestinians that die. The Israelies can kill as many people as they want, but if an Israeli is killed everybody grieves for them.
He's got a point. Although i totally disagree with every other viiew of his, i agree with that one.
Since you people know i am a Pakistani, i'll add that my family is from India well, about 50 years ago they were. After patition we moved to Pakistan.
In India my grandparents' families were millionares. They were governers with massive estates. They were filthy rich like most of India back then.
Then the British came, and they took their money. If it hadn't been for the British, i would living as a millionare in India. What a great life that would be. i still have a grand uncle who is a millionare but has no heirs. I'm hoping he'll adopt me

.
Anyway, I don't go around saying racist remarks about the British. yes it would be wonderful to be that rich, but there's nothing i can do about it.
The Middle East, China and India were the locations of the first civilizations and some of the greatest.
The Ottomans, a muslim empire, ruled lands that belonged to Christians and Jews. But they didn't go killing them. They infact made a special force to protect them from fundamentalist muslims.
In eastern europe, the ottomans took men as slaves(because it was forbidden to take a muslim as a slave), and made the slavs into politicians and warlords. Muslim families pretended to be Christian so that they would take their sons to be slaves, trained and become rich nobles.
US thinks that Iraq is evil and that they hate Christians and the US. One of the highest ranking politicians in Iraq is a Christian.
I don't sink down to a racist level. Sure they took my families wealth, but the British people of now are good people like most in the world.
So I am a Muslim. So my view points differ from others. I defend my people but i don't attack anybody else except the fundamentalists of all relgions.
@at99: You are the a SOB. I would love to se you thrown out of here. I hope you go to your hell.
