Well, this is the World ya know. Did you see the recent movie "Rules of Engagement?" This is very ironic because you probably would not see what I saw in this movie. In the movie there is this audio tape that is being dispersed to all the villagers of Yemen telling them God commands you to kill all Americans. There is nothing in Islam that supports this kind of thing. There is no pope or even priests that can tell you what God wants. Only the Qu'ran and the examples of God's messengers (Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Mohammad...etc.). The ironic part is that if I were not a Muslim, I would be so frightened by the message of this movie that I would be prepared to go to war with countries like the Yemen. Do you see my point? The media in America has the potential to effect the masses "as a device to whip up the ignorant to violence." Unless you think people are not devoted to their tv sets...in which case, never mind. BTW, the movie makers should have used a fictitious nation. This was very unfair to the Yemenese.
