Nasra, common, it's not like that at all. I'm neither American nor Muslim but I consider the lives of both to be of equal value. Every human life is sacred. There's no "us" or "them". Let's pray for all the victims regardless of whether they're products of Bush or Bin Laden.
No! No! No! Allah will reward & punish us according to our deeds & His justice. Please don't set out on a vengeance or encourage others to seek revenge.
Do you like music? Are you familiar with these inspirational & touching songs? "What's going on?" (Marvin Gaye) "Where is the Love?" (Black Eyed Peas) "We are the World!" (U.S.A. for Africa) "Heal the World!" (Michael Jackson)

Hi FHC
It's hard to turn a blind eye and although Islam teaches that we should repel evil with that which is better, it also teaches to defend yourself when neccessary. I personally wouldn't seek revenge too easily but we all have our limits. It's easy to talk from the comfort of your own home and spread peace behind a computer screen but in the battle thats a different story. These people are in a battle they have every right to be angry.
There will come a time in all of our lives where we must question ourselves what it is that we believe in, and are we willing to stand up for it?
I don't listen to Music, no, I have given it up for Allahs sake. I don't need music to calm me down, I have my 5 daily prayers alhamdulilah.: )
Quote:REALLY? Where do you live?
Apparently you don't watch CNN, ABC, CBS, or MSNBC
What does where I live has got anything to do with what comes on my t.v?
We all watch the same news, and you know very well that everything I said is true, stop pretending like you don't know anything. I always make this joke in public when I see some non-Muslim looking funny at me, "hmm I bet tha one didn't miss the propaganda on t.v last night"..We all know that Americans watch their news and take them very seriously. If I may, some of the stuff that comes on the news are like this "They want to Kill us, me and you..Islam is on the grow we are infidels to them and nothing else"..hmm interesting.
About the public thing, thats not to say that All Americans look at me funny (being dressed from head to toe and in Hijab) I also have many who will go out of their way just to say hi and smile at me. There are those who will give me nasty looks, and I think those are the ones who base their judgements simply on what they may have read, seen, or heard on biased and propaganda driven media platforms.
You forgot to add fox news on your list...not that I watch it but we all know what comes on fox news...and all those channels u listed.
