Well the same thing was broadcast on TV.

Anyway I realize not everything you hear it true. It's just the stories we get from the US lately, maybe its some sort of provocation, maybe its a media attack whatever.
Its still less then the stories brought from the Middle-East since the 90's mainly by the US (media) on wich not everything was true but also made everyone from Middle-East look like a terrorist (wich is of course not the case).
What I was trying to say, it sorta happens vice-versa now. And wich the US seems to give no shit about. I would at least expect a counter media attack.
Or has that same media turned against it?

There was program on the BBC (panorama) last night about a Muslim (Shiraz Maher) that joined a extremist Islamic group (Hizb ut-tahrir) here in the UK...It was very interesting to see how their perspectives narrowed and they would pick particular parts from the Koran and use them in isolation. Basically the group wanted a Muslim superstate. They have updated the website with a statement from Hizb ut-Tahrir and what they thought of the program!

Haven't been here in awhile, but I see things here remain the same. Same old anti-American bullshit. And to whomever assumed that Americans don't "know" any Muslims, I came to tell you that you are dead wrong. I share my office with one and we are close friends. One day you European snobs will be knocked right off your pedestals, and I, for one can't wait for the day.

Oh boy, can't you read? Just saying HE actually said it, doesn't say I believe it, however the point was that's the message wich is being sent in general over here.....

hope you understand now.... if not, not worth the effort. Can't lower myself on that low level

the muslims i work with are getting excited because ramadan's almost done.

i'm planning on trying to follow it next year just to see if i can do it. i really doubt i'll be able to so major kudo's to muslim's for having a holiday that's more than just an excuse to eat and drink alot and buy presents.

I love the rammadan (altough not active lol) I always join the Muslims here when they have the party at the end of the rammadan (sugar-party freely translated).
Beats Christmas!
