nadine, i'm not a moral relativist. i didn't use the US example to justify the arab actions. they are both wrong. i think it is moral relativism to b* about arab sins and ignore christian / american / etc. does name calling really bother you? i see a people in some pretty f* uped circumstances acting out in the only way they know how. you see something to hate and fight against. the irony is that if you were born arab and in the right circumstances, YOU could be out in those streets. >>What do you think Americans would do right about now to any Arab-American they saw if they gave way to their grievances, their natural feelings?<< nadine, if americans are so STUPID to hate all american arabs for the actions of a few then americans are really idiots. i work with and know a few arab americans and i'm not so STUPID and shallow minded to think they plotted this evil. HOW FREAKIN' DUMB. this is the type of IGNORANCE i'm trying to combat. it's so ingrained you don't even see how patently IGNORANT it is. illogical, not rational. i'm an american and my relationships haven't changed with the arab americans i know (some i like and some i can't stand - but the decision is made based on my view of the CONTENT OF THEIR FREAKIN' CHARACTER and not what some self obssessed suicidal idiots did). is that concept so hard to understand? am i wrong for not wanting to club an arab american at the local gorcer? goodness gracious, how STUPID! the palestinians had something taken from them and they know who did it and who still benefits. current arab americans didn't take anything away from americans anymore than white people committed murder b/c some white dude is killing people! the example is ABSURD! I'M ON FREAKING RECORD AS SAYING THAT THE PALESTINIANS NEED TO GET OVER THE LOSS AND THAT ISRAEL SHOULD BE THERE TO STAY AND YET I'M CALLED A JEW HATER. AN EXTREMIST MUSLIM WOULD CALL ME A MUSLIM HATER. THE PROBLEM IS EXTREMISM! the caps appear to be necessary to get the simple points across. the extremists want to deny there was any loss at all and want to attack all arabs for the actions of a few. i can't support this b/c it isn't true! >>Would you support this too? Or must we only be understanding of the Palestinians' feelings, not anybody else's?<< i won't support SIMPLE MINDED BIGOTRY AND RACISM. i hope you successfully fight the tendancies you so readily attribute to "americans." i'm an american and i don't wish ill will on arab americans. ARAB AMERICAN RELATIVES DIED, TOO! SHOULD THEY NOW BE ATTACKED AGAIN BY IGNORANT AMERICANS? you think this is NATURAL? WHOAAAAAA...
