You have a unique perspective on life which is quite refreshing in today's world. I would venture to say that most people are terribly frightened of the prospect of being labeled a "bigot" or a "racist". It is for this reason, IMO, that many people choose to make the determination as to which opinions are the most popular opinions, and then adopt those opinions as their own because they want to "fit in" and have a sense of belonging. This seems to be a sad fact of life nowadays.

<<siege mentality>> Great paul. The western media doesn't effect you at all does it? OK paul I don't really need this. I did not dissagree with any thing you said about atrocities in the world as you well know. You continually take this offensive tack of judging Muslim societies around the world. Hey, I do that my self and I tried to point that out to you. I have an insiders view and there is plenty to criticize that is legit. Your criticisms are very westerncentric and typical of finger pointing from outsiders. I also tried to point out to you that America or any other culture is wrought with social ills. My point on your outlook is that you have a targeted culture that you dismiss outright as unacceptable. Every culture is criticisable but when the critic is unbalanced and without consideration for the differences that define the culture its bigoted.
