Americans Why does the rest of the world hate you

[ToughGong]

Outside of America, the rest of the world hates . Yes, hates!
Most of the world has been only too ready to forgive American injustices because they knew Americans who despised those injustices as much as they did. They also held idealized images of America that seemed to offer freedom and opportunity that they felt deprived of in their own worlds of poverty, corruption and oppression.

Now, all that has gone by the wayside. Doors have slammed shut on any idealized vision of living in America where hatred of "Give me your poor, tired and huddled masses" of Statue of Liberty fame has been replaced by suspicion and rejection of immigrant hopefuls.

Millions of Africans starve and die of AIDs while the richest nation in the world wastes millions of dollars bringing Iraq to its knees. Millions more in Muslim countries feel - with considerable justification - that Christians and Jews have been gathering to mount a holy war on Islam.

"Why," they ask, "when a few lunatics commit a crime, do the perpetrators get referred to as 'Muslims'?" When a bank robber also happens to be a Christian, is the report on the criminal carried as a Christian bank robber?

Was Michael Milken, convicted Wall Street felon, ever referred to as that New York Jewish criminal? Meyer Lasky was just another gangster, and one writer has said, "If a Jew must commit a murder or an embezzlement, let him be named Smith or Robinson."

"Please God," said another, "make it not be a Jew" upon hearing that President Kennedy had been assassinated. In short, just as "a great many Jews live in terror of the banner headline that screams out the guilt of someone with an obviously Jewish name, no religion wants the crimes of its members associated with the religion.

Why, then, do we read daily reports of criminal activities by Muslims? The idea, of course, dictated by a controlled media, is that writers and editors want the crimes associated with Islam. Some have even been brazen enough to say so.

This deprecation of Islam goes unnoticed in the West - at least in Western consciousness. It hasn't been missed, however, in the countries that are home to over 2 billion Muslims.

The populations of many other countries around the world despise Americans for their unfair exploitation of the natural resources and labour while keeping them in poverty and debt while oppressed with little hope for the future.

Americans may feel proud that they can scuttle the Kyoto accords, veto numerous Security Council resolutions or gain an unfair advantage with trade agreements, but when it does the rest of the world seethes with contempt.

That obviously doesn't concern most Americans or they never would have allowed the respect that the world once had for us to disintegrate as it has.


Americans, you impeached a president for lying about a silly affair he had with a young intern; But did nothing about a president who proved himself a pathological liar about the much more serious business of life and death and you didn't even waggle an accusing finger.

Shame on you, Americans, for your apathy, your egocentricity, your inhumanity and your brash opinions of your self-importance.

If you live in fear because your own actions or inactivity have spawned the groups or individuals you fear, don't open your foolish yaps and blame Islam or Bin-Laden or Hamas or the Syrians or Iranians for your plight.

Look in your mirrors. You'll see the real reason for well-deserved fear. Then pray!

I AMERICA!!!!

[ToughGong]

Without doubt, the US has not only become the world's major power, it has become the world's sickest, most inhumane terrorist state. Brutal bullies.



Israel had the chutzpah to develop at least 200 nuclear weapons. The American bully hasn't castigated the Middle Eastern bully for that or for Israel's failure to sign the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. Yet the brutal American takes pride in bullying Iran for wanting to develop nuclear power as a source of energy, despite Iran's membership as a nuclear non-proliferation state.



We've seen what the victims of bullying can and will do. They resist in whatever way they can. They learn to make bombs and they become suicide bombers when they can't stand the bullies any longer.



Like the advice given to schools for the treatment of bullies, the rest of the world needs to adopt a zero tolerance policy for bullying. The countries of Asia and Africa and Europe and South America need to say STOP and mean it.



Italy, it seems, has the right idea. They've arrested and charged 26 Americans for kidnapping an Italian Muslim cleric and taking him to Egypt on a rendition programme during which he was tortured. Let's hope that the Italians stick by their anti-bullying guns, and that others follow suit.

Can't argue with that mate especialy with those donkeys in charge of the Muslim countries
That's the good thing about the west is it's laws,which theoreticaly and for the most part practicaly are there to protect the public from tyrants and injustice.The problem is though those same laws are not practiced in their foreign policy

[X.Playa]

Remember the fortune teller from Lebonon 4 months ago who use to com on Lebanes T.V? as soon as he went to Saudi Arabia 2 months ago for "imra" the Saudi Wahaabist arrested him and beheaded him 6 weeks ago in Mecca , their entire acusations was based on " consultations with the devil" lloool.


With those kind of soceities on earth i will choose the American side any day sxb.

[ToughGong]

Sxb I'm not intimating that the governments in Muslim countries at the present time are better than the American government far from it.My beef is with the foreign policy of Zionist led America
As for the Saudi Arabia the law of jahilia i.e. one law for the rich and another for the poor.
