Diffusing the Threat from within

[Veiled Princess 1]

Can you blame Mawlison or anyone for that matter for feeling that way? Quite honestly, any race that is portrayed the way arabs are on TV would get the same reaction from the general public. I don't agree with Mawlisons statements and I myself am an Arab, but I do understand how and why people do feel that way. I myself am against the Arabs and Extremists that have tarnished our name over the decades.

It's not an excuse... I can watch the news and see white men who rape and kill their children... black men who steal cars... white women on street corners being arrested for prostitution... etc etc etc....

doesn't give me or anyone else an excuse to judge the whole race on the actions of the few, even if that is how the media presents it.

I was referring to your racism against Arabs... Arab is a race

Either way, I'm outta here.

An excuse? You can't even compare the 2 VP. You are talking about extremisn that is along the lines of Nazi Germany and Hitler. It's not even just a few, there is a large growling number of extremists in the entire region. Those people represent nothing that is Arab or Muslim. There is no reason to even defend what them or what they do. If you are defending them, then you are silently agreeing with them. Do you also think its just the way its presented by the media? Trust me its not. I do agree that the media does misprepresent things but this is not the case here. There is some but the root of this problem does exist and its spreading like a disease.

Woah, slow down there! mawilson posted a cartoon that implies that learning about Islam means learning about explosives, smack in the middle of this thread. There is no excuse for that, and saying that it was inappropriate and bigoted is by no means supporting terrorism!

How was your dirty little cartoon about religion? It didn't say anything about muslims or Islam or any other religious group ... it just had some supposedly Arab men wearing turbans attending a human bomb class.

What religion is that about????
