The media hypes the bad in order to get the readership. Thus all we hear about muslims is bad. I live with them and although their culture is quite different, the vast majority are mighty fine people. Just an example. Visiting some friends and wife having trouble talking with friends wife as she doesnt speak arabic and they did not speak english well. Wife casually mentioned that the ring on friends wife was pretty to make conversation. The lady spoke to her husband in arabic and then took it off and gave it to my wife. After the May 29th incident in Khobar some Saudi friends were crying in shame of what a few of their countryment had done. You hear the bad from Iraq, but there is so much good going on unreported. (Not newsworthy)I have friends working there and know some soldiers. Anyways just thought you should hear another opinion. The evil doers though are worthy of your disdain. They are nothing more than coward who prey on the defenseless. Take media with a grain of salt. Their reporting during the gulf wars was abysmal, inaccurate and always looking to sensationalize Regards neil
