What is this world we are living in? <br><br>It is funny to me to watch those movies from the Cold War era, depicting the biggest enemies to "modern civilization" as the Soviets, or sometimes the IRA. No, funny is not the right word. It's refreshing. It's sad. It's tragic. <br><br>Allah help us!UmmFarouqhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05366325597455956128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5943895454360619148.post-23037165924466579392008-03-23T11:43:00.000+02:002008-03-23T11:43:00.000+02:00Yeah Ummfarouq, movies are a great indicator of th...Yeah Ummfarouq, movies are a great indicator of the collective psyche, enemies in movies are always evil and ruthless, they even look creepy, but this is to feed the ego of the movie makers' cultural background, wars now are like movies, us v them, we're the ultimate good, they're the ultimate evil. that's the fruit of cultural Arrogence!Ammarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01669890793678305822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5943895454360619148.post-40077627864708563322008-03-23T15:21:00.000+02:002008-03-23T15:21:00.000+02:00Ammar Well I see it part our fault, we miss repres...Ammar <br><br>Well I see it part our fault, we miss represent our selves. and in part that is due to the unhealthy and unrealistic opinion we have about other cultures and religions. it is only human to put yourself at a higher value, and quite important as I see it. but it should not dehumanize others just because they are not part of our culture and\or religion.Tamarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14377310526681733081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5943895454360619148.post-63068465372560060982008-03-23T15:56:00.000+02:002008-03-23T15:56:00.000+02:00I agree Tamara, that's why I said that there a...I agree Tamara, that's why I said that there are advocates of cultural conflicts both in the east and in the west, my use of Arab examples is actually my basis for the argument, it is the ignorence of the other, that will lead to conflict, whether this other is on the other sife of the planet, or next door, there has never been a clash of civilzations throughout history, and there will never be, even if it seems to be the case.Ammarhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01669890793678305822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5943895454360619148.post-2647923858387678162008-03-27T15:07:00.000+02:002008-03-27T15:07:00.000+02:00I too beleive that we are providing the material t...I too beleive that we are providing the material to the west and they are having a blast with it..They weren't interested in fair reporting to begin with..We are making a mockery of ourselves and we became fair game and target..<br>The daily endless debates and analysis on TV and radio not only full of insults but painting a totally different picture of us to the point that they created a different unrecognizable Islam that doesn't exist anywhere..<br>I don't know if we have the power or the people to reverse this image..Nourahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16790075404391288427noreply@blogger.com
