[...] Some found it offensive, others were confused and didn’t know whether to be amused or angry. As for myself, I burst out laughing. Hilarious! [...]

Kinda like saying Islam is the threat, not Muslims. Right?

Yes Craig. The American government taxes individuals, sends dudes with at least 2 guns knocking on your door if you dont pay up, organizes and deploys the armed forces, and makes foreign policy decisions. It is also physically located in Washington DC. Islam, being an abstraction, obviously, also does all those things.

The similarities are glaring.

and i believe the poll (not 100% sure, but if my memory serves me correctly) said that the US was the biggest threat, not Americans, as in the government not the people

It’s bullshit. If people are going to committed bigots they should at least be honest.

i dont understand. what are you saying? that there is no difference between the people and the government? that the american people are responsible for their president’s behaviour (beyond voting him into office and then voting him in again) and that they should be accountable for it? well, i am sorry but i do not hold every american responsible for the crimes against humanity that have been perpetuated by their president. so i see a very clear distinction between the two.

The world is quick to blame America, but that’s an Australian show, not an American show. While the show hosts discuss an “American tourist,” the “tourist” is not dressed like Americans dress–at least not in anywhere in America where I have ever been. We don’t have that show in America. While I have seen many women in burkas here in the United States, I have never, ever, seen a man in a robe and head scarf here, and I have seen many men from the middle East. Of course, a robe and a head scarf would draw attention in any area where they are not how people dress. Terrorists in America DO dress as Americans, by the way. I imagine that when you travel to America and to Europe you generally don’t wear the clothes that your are wearing on your masthead. So why the anger?

I have peformed this type of satire at the Edinburgh Fringe festival.
Dressed in national costume I walked down a very crowded Royal Mile, and didn’t have to check my step once. People simply got out of my way or attempted a sheepish grin. My clothes incited negative transference on the part of those observing me.
THis is understandable, and very painful for all Muslims. The violence perpetrated by this minority, with political ambition using a religious platform has tarred us all with the same brush.
When I got home after my walk down The Royal Mile, I had to sit and think of whether I should proceed with my show, given that in the depths of peoples prejudice, I was dangerous.
These Aussie guys are doing the right thing. Pointing out inequuity wherever they observe it.
However, If the distribution of wealth in the Arab world was better than it is, Islam would be evolving with much less fire and brimstone than is currently perceived. Arabs who own their own home, can clothe and feed their kids, can get away once a year for a holiday and can drive a car under 5 years old, simply have less reason to be radical.
Poverty drives radicalism.
The fellow TOM who has been spitting at us, is doing exactly what the majority of Muslims are not.
Because the majority of us ignore the pockets of intollerance in the Quran does not mean we are atheists or agnostics. It means we are practical.
I refer to the Quran for its beautiful spiritual messages. I am no less a Muslim for not killing.
Tom, all religion evolves in time. In Islam it’s 1427 and there is much evolution to come yet, if the religion is to survive.
I understand how it makes you feel better to blare your protests out to an Arab blogger, but that says more about you, I’m afraid, than it does your opinions.
TO find some peace in your life forgive your Father, then forgive your mother.
Forgiveness is the key.
You should try it.

Live Long and prosper

A massage to Tom….. Mr.,know it all,
and anyone with slow brain function.

I have No idea What book you were reading but that is Not the Quran.. , maybe someone gave you a wrong translation or you are an idiot and a fool who only loves to hear himself talk.
And don’t make me talk about were you get your Info. From – Arabian nights ? (Verse 9:111 ).. what a joke… wake up you know it’s only stories not real.

If you are smart you will know that you can not translate every thing correctly from one language to a another- Let alone the explanation and how it is translated and in your case you love to blame religion( Only Muslim in ur case) and not people.!!!!!
please spare us your judgment… when you likely have an issue with something.

People like Tom who don’t read the Quran properly have comments like these Quran is a book with very deep meanings and a normal a anti Muslim and anti-islamic person like Tom wont go deep in the quran to find meanings of things described in the Quran they Quran’s Orders are in time of war or when a Caliph or Prophet orders them to go to war quran doesn’t order Muslims to go to war whenever they want but it has allowed them to act in self defence only if they are attacked first
