Dear Manon
First of all I’d like to welcome you as a member to our forum. I’m not sure if you are a Muslim or not. But in all cases your opinion is very important to us.
Saying that the site originates from Saudi Arabia has nothing to do with our theme here, which is nothing, but informing about Islam in an effort to help those who are looking for the truth, or new Muslims who need valid info. Actually where the site originate from is not the issue but rather the common objective between us, the group of volunteers who are running the site. For your information, may be the Web master is a Saudi but Allah allowed me, an Egyptian, the chance to moderate this forum. While another is moderating the under construction French forum from Tunisia. So at least now we cleared out this point.
As for your opinion and firm position with your country the USA, we fully understand and also highly respect that. Nobody expects people to stand against their own countries. However, natives may realize deep inside that foreign policies of their regimes are wrong or unfair to others, yet they don't like others to say that. I prefer not to go into a debate about the seriously complicated matter of 11/9/2001. Actually it is a multifaceted issue. However, you may refer to www.rense.com you will read, from American sources, explaining about an Egypt Air flight for example. Also many Americans are absolutely against Bush's foreign policy seeing it as a direct cause for the growing anti American feelings worldwide.
In fact for example, why don’t you question the motives behind the US congress discussing Saudi women human rights? Why your money that you pay as tax should be spent in Congress sessions discussing strictly internal affairs of another country. They also discuss the religious education system in Egypt. Well this is exactly like the Parliament of Egypt discussing the importance of baptism in the US!!
Well Manon, I don’t want to prolong the post, but only Allah Knows the truth behind the 11th of Sept. and only Him can find us a way out. I wonder if you are happy with what the US administration is openly planning of occupying Iraq, under the pretext of protecting US safety. Doesn’t Israel own weapons of mass destruction?? I guess yes.
Well let us all be realistic. Again Manon, this site and forum aims at nothing but disseminating knowledge about Islam. As for the 11/9 only Allah Knows the truth and He will reveal it one day.
Again you are most welcome among us as a member. Being an American has nothing to do with this.
