hehehe, you finally get it

If you don't know where you talking about then SHUT THE FUCK UP! Do you think that Muslims in the Netherlands (not Holland!) don't live by the laws of that country. Because someone commited a murder that doesn't mean that Muslims who also are dutch civilians (!) have to be treated as second-rate civilians. All politicians want dutch civilians who also have the moroccan nationality (who you automatically get by birth when you have moroccan parents) to be kicked out of the country when they commited a severe crime (not a terrorist crime, but a severe crime). What is that kind of biased message: You have to assimilate in the dutch society, you must leave the culture and religion of your parents behind (because it's backward according to the politicians), but at the same time you've been treated as second-rate civilian and they can pinch your dutch nationality because you don't have white dutch ancestors! Fuck Netherlands with his tolerance. Netherlands have also to respect and accept people who are not white and christian at the same time. You tolerate a fly, but you accept and respect a human being. When some frustrated moroccan dutch Muslim murdered someone he and whole the moroccan dutch Muslims are terrorist, but when mosque and Islamic schools been attacked then it's just some naughty boys with monkey tricks. When politicians says they can eat those muslim women with headscarfs raw, that Muslims are a threat to the western society, that they have a backward culture, that they are goatfuckers, that their prophet is a pervert etc etc. then we're talking about freedom of speech (even if they make also political decisions), but when an Iman said that homosexuals are lower then pigs, he has to be kicked out of the country and he was taken to court and there is suddenly no freedom of speech.

Also was scrawled on the Uden school walls "kut moslims" and the 'white power symbol'

I was thinking the same. Oke, that there are soldiers who need a pal friend, ok, but things like toothpaste (new toothbrushes), fluoride rinse (ACT), shampoo, liquid soap, Non-Aerosol Deodorant, Non-aerosol Bug Spray, Cort-Aide or any Cortizone cream, Benedryl tablets, Band-Aids (finger type especially) etc.? It's a shame that the US army doesn't have these things for his people. I find it embarrassing that they're "begging" for things, like a "third world country".

Prince's New Video Sparks Racism Debate Fri Oct 15, 9:15 AM ET MINNEAPOLIS - Prince is once again stirring up some controversy. The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer is generating debate with a new music video depicting an Arab-American teenage girl imagining herself as a suicide bomber. The "Cinnamon Girl" video — created mostly in the Twin Cities and released to music television channels this week — has been criticized on Fox News and CNN. "Prince intended for it to spark some dialogue," said the video's director, Phil Harder, of Minneapolis-based Harder-Fuller Films. The clip features Keisha Castle-Hughes, 14, the Oscar-nominated actress from the movie "Whale Rider." She plays a schoolgirl who witnesses a terrorist attack and then experiences racism from classmates and others. The racism pushes her to dream about carrying a bomb into an airport. "Cinnamon Girl of mixed heritage, never knew the meaning of color lines," Prince sings. "9/11 turned that all around, when she got accused of this crime." Prince will not comment on the clip because he prefers that people make up their own mind, his publicist said. Representatives for MTV, VH1 and BET channels said their programmers were aware of the clip's content. MTV plans to begin airing it next week on MTVU, its universities-only channel, to gauge the reaction of viewers. VH1 and BET are undecided. Rana Abbas, deputy director of the Midwest chapter of the American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee in Dearborn, Mich., voiced her support after seeing the video Thursday. "It was shocking, but in a good way," Abbas said. "Prince is the first major recording artist to address the prejudice and issues that (Arab-Americans) are facing after 9/11, and I think he has done it in a very powerful way." The New York Post said it "might be the most tasteless video ever." Fox News commentator John Gibson suggested that Prince is "causing trouble," and CNN anchor Kyra Phillips said it is "shaking and rumbling the entertainment industry." Rolling Stone magazine music editor Joe Levy said the video should be put in context, and the song says that Arab-Americans were victims of hate after Sept. 11, 2001. Harder said the lyrics show Prince is "sincere in wanting to speak to the times." He also emphasized that the video "resolves itself peacefully."

I saw the movie a year ago. A very good movie.

Have you any notion what is going on OUTSIDE the USA? (this is a serious question). You again are making a fool of yourself. For example, almost daily people are risking their lives to reach Europe (yeah, also France!). Never heard of corpses who have been washed ashore on the coast of Spain and Italy? I find it disgusting how you are talking about the misery of people. Don't be proud about the fact that people are heading for a horrible death because they want to start a new life in your country. You better have to feel ashamed that they can't have that better life in their own country! If your country is that great, why don't your country "of the free and the home of the brave" welcome all these people? At least you can't deny that they are brave: they take the risk to losing their life.

is that your definition of 'having a good time'?

you don't vote for a guy who are treating you like shit. All those discriminating measures against Muslims and Arabs in the USA are the main reason for Americans who are Muslim or/and Arab NOT to vote for Bush (at least if they are clever and not stupid like freshinha is saying).

and please...keep religious talk like 'evil' out of a discussion

I was talking about Al-Jazeera. Al-Jazeera doesn't represent "the Country of Iraq" Freedom is a word that still has to be invented in Iraq.

Webster's 1913 Dictionary Sem`it´ic a. 1. Of or pertaining to Shem or his descendants; belonging to that division of the Caucasian race which includes the Arabs, Jews, and related races. Semitic language a name used to designate a group of Asiatic and African languages, some living and some dead, namely: Hebrew and PhŒnician, Aramaic, Assyrian, Arabic, Ethiopic (Geez and Ampharic). - Encyc. Brit. WordNet Dictionary Noun 1. Semitic - a major branch of the Afro-Asiatic language family Adj. 1. Semitic - of or relating to the group of Semitic languages; "Semitic tongues have a complicated morphology" 2. Semitic - of or relating to or characteristic of Semites; "Semite peoples" Synonyms: Semite Wikipedia Semitic is a controversial adjective which in common parlance refers either to specifically Jewish*things or to things originating among speakers of Semitic languages*or people descended from them, and in a linguistic context to the northeastern subfamily of Afro-Asiatic. Etymologically, it means "pertaining to the descendants of Shem" (Noah's son). In Genesis Shem is described as the father of the Assyrians, Chaldeans, Aramaeans, Sabaeans, and Hebrews, all of whose languages are closely related; the linguistic family containing them was therefore named Semitic. The Canaanites*and Amorites*spoke a language belonging to this family, and are therefore also termed Semitic in linguistics despite being described in Genesis as sons of Ham. Shem is also described in Genesis as the father of the Elamites*and Lydians, whose languages are not Semitic. As this list makes clear, its meaning has shifted considerably. In a linguistic context, it refers to speakers of a subgroup of the Afroasiatic languages including, among others, Arabic, Hebrew, and Amharic. Thus the area of Semitic languages*is actually much larger than the area most non-linguists associate with the term "Semitic". They stretch all the way along the southern Mediterranean Sea*to the Atlantic Ocean, into Mali*and along the coast of the Red Sea*all the way to Somalia*in Africa. Semitic languages*are also spoken in European Malta*and on Socotra*in the Indian Ocean. Additionally, millions of Muslims*speak Classical (Qur’Çnic) Arabic as a second language, and many Jews*all over the world speak Hebrew as a second language. It should be noted that Coptic, Berber, Somali, and many other related Afro-Asiatic languages*within this area do not belong to the Semitic*subgroup. In a religious context, it refers to the religions associated with the speakers of these languages: thus Judaism, Christianity, and Islam*are often described as "Semitic religions". This term can equally include the polytheistic*religions (such as the cults of Tammuz*or Baal) that flourished in the Middle East before the Abrahamic religions. Outside linguistics, the term's primary use these days is to refer to the ethnic groups who have historically spoken Semitic languages, although with the prefix anti- it most commonly refers just to Jews (see below). The best way known to test an ethnic group's common physical descent is through genetic research. Though in genetic research no significant common mitochondrial results have been yielded, genetic Y-chromosome links between near-eastern peoples like the Palestinians, Syrians and ethnic Jews have proved fruitful (see Y-chromosomal Aaron). The indication is that these peoples do descend from a common Near-Eastern population to which (despite the differences with the Biblical genealogy) the term Semitic has been applied. http://foundationstone.com.au/HtmlSupport/WebPage/semiticGenetics.html. Obviously over time the number of people to join Jewish communities and marry descendants of the Israelites has not been trivial. But the results indicate that the male converts from outside descendants of that Near-Eastern community has not been so large as to swamp the near-eastern Y-chromosome. Thus today's male Jews*are in fact largely Semitic by descent, rather than being primarily European (Khazar) converts using a Semitic language*for liturgical purposes, as sometimes alleged (cf. Arthur Koestler.) See the article on Israelites for more detail. Anti-Semitism*is a term whose most common usage is to describe anti-Jewish statements or beliefs. However, it is increasingly used by people who apply the word in reference to Semitic people also in the linguistic and genetic senses, thus including anti-Arabism or even anti-Aramaeanism, for instance. http://www.webster-dictionary.org/definition/Semitic

I was responding on this one:

You make a fool of yourself by saying this things. Freedom isn't a new word for Al-Jazeera. Al-jazeera didn't need "our American and coalition troops" to use their "freedom". "freedom"....but do they understand how not to abuse that right?" are the words of a dictator.

If you need help from the "Muslim world", then you have to shake hands with this world. If you treat people like dirt, don't expect any help from them.

The majority of the Moroccan population believe in hell, but there is a lot of corruption and a lot of poverty.

What a stupid comment. There is no "one united Umma". Democracy can't split the Umma, because the Umma splitted more than 600 years ago.

but those Arab Americans are ...Americans

is that the only thing you can say?

If Eli Valley wants to support Kerry, he first has to know how to write an article without vulgar rhetoric. How can a Semitic country like Saudi Arabia be one of the most virulently anti-Semitic countries in the world? 'Bad for Israel' is not the same as 'bad for Jews'

interesting article

don't make sport a political thing.

bravo for what?
