Proud_Syrian, I think that the people on this forum are getting to far under your skin. I’d just take a break from it. It’s just not worth the head-ache. Maybe I can explain what I mean (then again maybe not).
Remember the Washington sniper? I have so many friends that will not go to the USA. They always say they don’t want to get shot. Like their going to get shot! My Singaporean friend just flat-out refused a great job at a University in Boston because he “did want to get shot”. I personally think he’d be completely fine living in Boston. ALL of my Japanese and Chinese friends say the USA is just way too dangerous to live there. So, is there a world conspiracy to make the USA look dangerous. OR (and more likely) does the news like to sensationalize everything? Thereby taking a handful of truth and making it look like a mountain of truth. That's anywhere - not just the West. The East too.
I think, sometimes when one wants to see something they will see it whether its there or not. Maybe at that point take a break from whats making you see things in such a negative light.
True. There are many such examples... .. .. the spots in the world where NON-MUSLIM terrorism is raging is far more than the spots of the world where the so called muslim terrorism is raging ( just look at Colombia, the FARC rebels as only one tiny example)
Ah, here’s what I’m getting at. Even if we were to agree that the USA media was completely dominated by some Jewish conspiracy hell-bent on making Muslims look bad - that still would not explain why peoples in places such as China or Japan or Singapore (where we can agree there is no Jewish influence) would run news showing Muslim violence. I personally think its just sensationalism combined with people like to think their country and culture is better and so typically show the ugly side of everyone else. There is nothing more sensational than a person willing to kill themselves to kill a few others. Add to that religion and you have the makings of great news plus the added bonus of the person in their country being able to say to themselves: “look at how much better our society is THAT would never happen in Japan” (China, Singapore, etcetera).The problem is this sickning hypocrisy in the west in dealing with muslim news, one example: the case of this nigerian woman

See here’s my point again. Its not just the West that runs news about a Muslim being sentenced to stoning or the incident in Pakistan the other day where one group of Muslims were killing another slightly different group. Those story’s were run in the Japanese, Chinese, and Singaporean news. Which we can agree are not “Western Nations”. Do you see my point? Although I don’t know, I bet those two stories were also run in Indonesia and Malaysia news as well. They’re not Western either.You see, so much hypocrisy is involved and this only fuels the muslim hate and anger against the west.
