Ads hope to dispel fears of Muslims and Arabs

[peezey 0]

but I do get tired of hearing from muslin people around where I live that it is their task in life to educate and change everyone to the muslim faith.... "the one true path"... Put it down to the fact that the media shows terror from muslims over terror from other places and people but I just feel that with a religion that openly encourages the death and destruction of all thing from the west it is not suprizing that most people have a fear of muslims and I think it will take more than a few adds on buses to ally those fears....

Next time you see one trying to preach to you, tell them you are not interested. We are tired of people of other religion trying to go to church eventhough you already said you are not interested. They even called us on Sunday morning at 7 AM. Chances are you get people who tries to invite you to church more often than muslim trying to take you to mosque in US.

But, we do not ask every Christian I know (or every ordinary Christian) to be responsible for the child molester who happens to be a priests.

Btw, if you think the religion (not the people) teaches to destroy anything from the West, it just show how much (or little) you know about the religion.

Ignorance, on either sides, is not an excuse

Well as I am not christian I do not expect them to take responsibility for child molester priests.... but if a Priest was to start preaching about child molesting then yes the followers of that religion would be blamed as well...

I am not an ignorant person and I admit I know very little about the muslim faith other than the very interesting thing I have learned from here... but I do know that when I see a muslim leader condeming all westeners and jews to death then I do see it as religion teaching that to its people.... and as I very realy see muslim people speaking out against the things being taught by these Muslim leaders am I so wrong to then belive that they must belive this too...

Again, there are ONE BILLION MUSLIMS on this planet. if someone is preaching something, it's not to ONE BILLION PEOPLE. Do you get the very very very slim minority of muslims' actions you are trying to blanket 999+ million muslims with?

But how do you know there are not countless Muslims speaking out about these things? Just because its not covered in the press you view/read, doesn;t mean it doesn;t exisit.

[PalestineMyHeart 1,897]

If you are referring to my post outing you as the racist bigot you are, that was not pot stirring, that was exposing you to anyone who continues to make nice with you out of habit.

Yup, I'm hoping that will now stop. It's high time everyone understands what's really going on.

No one with an SO from the Middle East or North Africa has a friend in Charles.

according to you

Well, if you are counting on those MENA women you are instant messaging about these thread to stand by you. You are going to be very lonely in the end.

Backup backup.... are you there ???? Need backup now !

Because the media has villainized organizations like CAIR without cause, and blind followers of cable news take it as truth.

[Ban Hammer 13,333]

Seems like a good time to put up a link to Prof. Norm Finkelstein's website. Excellent speaker, excellent books, excellent articles on the subject of zionism and israel/palestine.

OK what have I missed?????

This is the Charlesandnessa fanclub forum isn't it???

must be why you are here

[Jenn! 918]

I think I'm going to approach the muslim activists in our community about seeing if we can bring this campaign to Minnesota

I wonder if we could get it going here in Boston to offset all the crapola they broadcast on some of the local talk radio stations here.

Thinking of Michael Graham by any chance? You know why he got fired in DC and is now in Boston, right?

Presumption of innocence until proven otherwise and the burden of proof being on the accuser is no longer part of our fair democracy? The "way of life" we are apparently spreading in ME isn't good enough for us in the U.S.?

Oh, that's right, since there isn't any proof, we just pass unconstitutional provsions in order to detain "people of interest" for unspecified amount of time.

No I was thinking of Howie Carr and the morning talkshow host whose name escapes me now. They're constantly blanketing all muslims or arabs as being terrorists.

[brnidokiegurl 0]

Muslim all terrorists hum usually all ideas a person (thinks they know) about a race/religion come from the media either on tv or written which that person uses to advance their own personal interests. Sorta like saying dont judge a book by its cover, good and bad comes in all form. What was Timothy Mcvay good old white boy who blew away our Federal Bldg here in OKC, im white so now all white boys in Kansas/Okla terrorists. Ahmed was really the first Muslim i ever knew and i found him and his family some of the most gentle people i've know so i had to come back and educate my acquaintences that never knew only what they hear from the media. Ignorance comes from not knowing only assuming

I never said you are Christian. It was an example.

I bolded one of your statement that if a priest was to start preaching something wrong, and yes the followers of that religion is to be blamed.

Woow....if the president of the US is wrong, then the citizen of the US is wrong too ? Especially the ones who voted for him ?

One is not responsible for what other people say, do, or think just because they share the same religion, nationality, or color.

[MrsAmera 41]

Well after wading through this I think the bus idea is a great one and apparently from the tone of posts and attitudes that can be seen they are well needed. I think that all of the US could use a cool down approach and not be so damn scared because someone looks different. And just a little added note in the 1970's after the Iranian hostage crisis there were plans to intern Iranians and Arabs in the camps in the southern US, and as far as I know there are still detainments taking place today. Don't get me wrong we should be cautious but Arabs/Muslims aren't the only terrorists or have we all forgotten about the IRA, Tamal Tigers, Latin American organizations and the numerous, numerous terrorists in sub-saharan africa these days?
