    If the arabs/muslims were what the media is potraying right now, I would already be dead by now!

    Also, those people who the media potrays as suicide bombers or kidnappers are called islamic extremist, and these organizations exist all over the world, even in your own town, they are secret islamic terrorist organization who performs suicidal task in which they refer to as a holy war to restore islam as the sole religion of the world, but those acts are most form from their misinterpretation of the Quran!

    Misinterpretation can be very serious from the religious point of views, do remember that misinterpretation of these stuff have lead to many historical events in the past! Like the crusade war, or the conflict between isreal and palestine, or even the reformation of christianity!

    I do not have an opinion on any large, generalized group of people. If you were to ask me my opinion on the actions of a country's government, that's one thing. But asking someone's opinion on a race or culture is just asking for ignorance. :\

    I grew up in Saudi Arabia even though I'm not Arab. It's nothing like what most people would expect it to be. It's a shame the live-able areas of the Middle East aren't newsworthy, so they don't contribute to the global image of the area. I really miss it

    I don't really think anything about them. I don't hate them and I'm not ignorant about their religion and culture like 99% of Americans. They're just another group of people to me. Though they seem to have better moral standards than most Christians now a days that don't even deserve the right to call themselves Christians with the way they act.

    I bet 90% of the people in this post are just stereotyping the entire culture based on miniscule knowledge. If you guys didn't know, most of our main News Channels are run by Jewish people. That is why everything is anti-muslim basically. American doctors have "messed-up" in surgery for example 100+ times which resulted ina patients death and then when an arab doctor prescribes te wrong medicine which doesnt even lead to death or anything serious it is immediately on the news as a terrorist threat and that it was done intentionally. its juststupid really and I would never go around stereotyping cultures because of what you hear. Thats like a muslim saying that 100% of priests are rapists. Do you ever hear them say that? no...so why do people consider muslims to be 100% terrorists or see them as threats no matter who it is?
