I guess you haven't been in the middle east?
It's funny how no one ever talks about the poverty, poor infrastrcture, unemployement, suicide and depression in america?
The rest of the world is not a shithole like the west wants you to believe. I've been to africa, middle-east, europe and north america. Africa and ME are actually really really nice.. even the poor areas have a sense of peace that you cannot find anywhere in america. I plan to get off this rock and maybe go to qatar or saudi or uae for some jobs once wife finishes school.
The difference between muslims and non muslims especially of those in the west... is that muslims are bent on BUILDING and improving their sense of life and well being.. While for example Americans, they are bent on SAVING money, cheapning out, exploiting people's money of their own people, of other foreign people, after wars and conquest, destablizing others while you are crumbling... however it becomes difficult when there are military dictators (for example egypt which you supported for 30 years) or tunis, where they leech on the people's wealth and use it for their own means. However when they do get a chance to build they build unlike what you can imagine.
Just like in the middle agees... there was public drinking water, public lights in muslim spain while the british lived in mud houses.
Today its not that different so when a westerner actually visits the middle east they are in absolute shock... both at the life style and structures.
Its also VERY hard to build when you are constantly BOMBED. Thank you America. However there where there is no american meddling and bombing usually is tremendous progress.
And just like in the past Muslims have something of a culture you can only fantasize of in hollywood. You are angry jealous crusader wanabes who only have blood thirst.. and just like the popes and emperors of europe past... they brainwash the ignorant masses into fearing that which they dont know... hating that which tehy are told to hate... and instigating and hurting Muslims via all possible means then wondering 'why do they hate us'. I mean 1+ million people killed, seven countries attacked one would think thats more than enough to PISS OFF people in the last 10 years alone.. not to mention the last 200 some years of colonialism and other shit.
I loved living there and inshAllah (God willing) can't wait to get off this God forsaken rock when I get a job opportunity abroad.
