Oryx - What's the ethnic background of those police and guardsmen being killed everyday in Iraq by our enemies? They ain't white or black...

What is the ethnic background of all those people who came out to vote in Iraq to, shall I say, give our enemies the purple finger?

I think some right wing militias celebrated the attack on "New Jew City", no?

So can we follow the logic here..........

Arabs overwhelmingly support the terrorists. Arabs either publicly celebrated 9/11 or were silent on it.

Do you deny that, y2?”

"Their" country is our ally!

What's the ethnic background of the people demanding elections in Eqypt?

What's the ethnic background of the people who marched in the street to get the Syrians out of Lebanon?

Newsflash - A whole lot of Israelis are Arab.

Yes I do deny it- Categorically. The only evidence you have of this is a small group of Palestinian people. Sure they were against the invasion of Iraq, but as we've now found out, the two things aren't connected.

Who cares if they're Muslim? There's a hell of a lot of Muslim Arabs on our side as well. I think you're being way, way to general Oryx. The vast majority of people in the middle east regardless of race, class, religion etc... don't hate us and aren't our enemies. Sounds like you've bought a little to deeply into the mythical notion of the "Arab Street"

I respect the right for even evil conserves to speak one's mind.
Just because someone doesn't agree with me, I don't label them 'idiot'. Have I ever called YOU stupid?
You all were jumping on the poor kid before he even had a chance to defend himself.

BTW, discounting his story simply because he is Arab is not only racist, it's stupid.

There are plenty of better reasons to discount his story.
Phaedrus
2:17:23 PM

Because he's lying about Saddam's capture. One of his Lebanese brethren pretended to be kidnapped to get out of fighting. Didn't one roll a grenade into a barracks before the war began?

We are at war with the Arabs, Phaedrus. And they're the ones who started it!

Actually, Oryx, we're at war with idealogues who refuse to differentiate between innocents and combatants.

It should start sounding familiar to you soon.

I generally try to give college kids a break, since they don't have a well thought-out opinion of most matters yet. Yours in this matter obviously isn't.

I'm so freaking colorblind, all I wanted to know was -- if the story is being carried by any other network..

It's interesting.. especially to a guy like me who thinks we get lied to by the media and political engines a lot anyway..

Arab hatred of America grows
by Dafna Linzer,
Washington Post

July 23, 2004

Arab views of the United States, shaped largely by the Iraq war and a post-Sept. 11 climate of fear, have worsened in the past two years to such an extent that in Egypt -- an important ally in the region -- nearly 100 percent of the population now holds an unfavorable opinion of the country, according to two polls due out today.
Oryx

Oryx

The expectation of war, is that justice will be served.

But war is not justice. Innocent people die in war. War is anarchy. It is the opposite of law and order. War happens because people don't follow the Laws, or because they argue about what the laws are. War is the result of disputes. It erupts when people argue about what is "Right."

Oryx - unfavorable opinion of America hardly equates to being at war or even supporting terrorists.
I have an unfavorable opinion of bears in my campsite. I'm not at war with them, nor to I advocate poachers killing bears.

And racist, you lump a race, a religion and some nationalities together and say you can't trust them - it's racist. No doubts about it.

Many Arabs and Muslims are supporting the war on Terror, but are against the invasion of Iraq.

And Stovie. A person old enough to vote, and to fight for his country comes on here expounding nasty little opinions deserves no defence.

Nah, it may be jingoistic or xenophobic, but not racist. In reality, it's common sense. Arabs nearly uniformly hate America and cheered 9/11. They are the enemy, coupled with liberal PCism.

God, do I have to explain everything to you. When you group a race - the Arabs , and criticise them all you're not a xenophobe, not that it's much better, but a racist.
Trying to wrap yourself in the American flag to try to conceal it is no excuse.
Maybe you'll indulge in Mosque bombings to protect America. After all "We're at war with these #&%!$s."
