hmmm ok.. lets me just brush everyone here, muslim or christian, jew or arab, black or white.. this is what a terrorist is:
One who utilizes the systematic use of violence and intimidation to achieve political objectives, while disguised as a civilian non-combatant. The use of a civilian disguise while on operations exempts the perpetrator from protection under the Geneva Conventions, and consequently if captured they are liable for prosecution as common criminals.
ok, so now we know what terrorism is, isnt it funny how the first impression we get of an arab muslim is either a terrorist, or a dirty person, yet when we hear of Jews, we straight away think, smart people, live in the city, luvin life... this is all due to the media, they are always attacking the weaker nations and weaker peoples. This stereotypical view of arabs and islam is wrong. Islam is a beautiful religion and in no way endorses "terrorism". It is the infact opposite, it says in the Qura'an that a muslim man must not touch a leaf on a tree, yet when we hear of a muslim man, we think, he's blowing himself up. What kind of view are the media giving here in australia.
Ok, as for lebanon vs Israel... come on, israel is a far more technologically advanced and economically advanced country than a few arab nations put together... dont you think that if they wanted to they could stop the nonsense between them straight away, but nooooo... they were "defending themselves". yup, i can understand that, blowing up bridges out of town, destroying parts of the airport and killing children is "defending" now is it??
There is so much oppression of muslim people here in australia. I had to listen to my mother tell me about how she was assaulted in the public shops... she was wearing the hijab (the "scarf") and was assaulted by 2 men, reportedly of australian ethnicity, attacking her and making fun of her, in broad daylight in the middle of the public shops, tell me now, if the media had said otherwise about islam and arabs, do you think my mum would have been asaulted, of all the 14 years of my life that i have resided here, there was never once a time that anything like this had happened to us here, but after the 9/11 attacks came about...
well, im not here to type up my life story
... its jst a message to all to really look into the media and do go around making claims saying that arabs are terrorists and dirty people (and im not saying that anyone has said that they ALL are terrorists) and saying that Jews are all sick terrorists that arent defending themeselves and attacking lebanon for fun, then you must take another look at the news and research yourselves about what the whole thing is about
Thanks, jst having my say
peace and god bless
