Quoting KeithL:

Fox News is incredible for telling misleading stories that favor "Bush politics'. this story follows that agenda. Anti-muslim.



That was the first feeling I got when watching it and I didnt take it too serious. I was glad to read Aenigma's comment about it.

However, the West (countries such as Holland and Britain) do have a small habit of wanting to make everyone feel home in their country and showing how perfectly tolerant and open-minded they are. But this comes with consequences.

why do millions of them stay in the queue in front of western embassies everyday to get visas?
if u tell me the similarity between somalians-Aborjins-Asteks-Inkas-Mayas-Even jewishes i ll gladly answer that question..

the muslims in eurabia (who mainly live in muslim gettos with no contact with non-muslims
If western people are ready to contact with them..lets warn them to go a step further..
however u are right here..they must afford more to addapt the system of the country they go..like i criticise western goverments in some points i also criticise the people who doesnt want to accept they are in an other country..


why cant non-muslims build their own places of worship in the middle east? thats exactly wrong..just look insight Kabe..

That is definitly true! Though not only Fox News. My old science professor told me that she complained to a TV news station because they kept getting facts wrong about science. For example, they kept saying that TB (tuberculosis) was a virus when it was a bacteria lol


for the wide masses it really doesnt matter if it is bacteria or virus



I didn't say it did. Just the fact that they are meant to deliver FACTS to viewers/readers. Not what they think. Otherwise I'm sure we can all make brillian news on our opinions and what we think. Anyway, what I was trying to say is, if they can get this wrong then I'm sure a lot of other things they talk about are.


what is your advice then? stop watching? any alternative?
virus and bacteria are the small not essential information pieces, if the newslady would inform about the dangerous epidemia caused by TB bacteria/virus, i would pay attention to the word "dangerous" not the "virus", in this case "virus" is not essential.

One more point..yes its hard to be a non muslim in muslim territories..
both sides has to understand that either muslims and non muslims are just human..like we all are..
i cant stand if a side ignores the other side and their needs..

I saw parts of it. I couldn't see it all, it made me angry and also scared. I don't know if this Glenn Beck is from the same type/level as the earlier mentioned Fox News but even if ten percent is true, I feel fear....

The video is worrying..not just me i think noone here support that extermism..that just runs the world to a war!!
If one side attcks the other,the other sides attacks too..that will never change till the end of the world..
Friends, "Alliance of Civilizations" is not a dream..Turkey-Spain and UN pay too many attantion on that idea..I think we all have a responsibility to support that idea in our own countries to create a social press for peace in the World.
We all need... http://www.unaoc.org/

I'm not saying it is now but on a study I was reading about in a book rather a few years ago. Britain had one of the highest rates of racism in the world. So I don't see how that is making it feel like "home" to foreigners.
Again I will say this study was some years ago so it may have changed now.
