Prejudice towards Muslims is sooo wrong. The people who hijjacked the planes were Muslims, but you have to understand that they are extremists. After an abortion clinic is blown up, do we prejudice against Christians? Of course not! Yeah and same goes for people of Middle Eastern descent:
One of my parents' close friends is from Iran, but his family moved to the US when he was 8 or 9. He hasn't been back for 30 years, but yes he still has a little accent. He lives really close to NY, and a few days ago he had to drive and he said he was stopped so many times.

Also, a newpaper or something was telling how all Middle Eastern countries may be like blocked so no one can get to the US from there or back to the Middle East from the US. Well, how do you suppose my friend's exchange student will get back home?! She's from Turkey and she's Islamic... guess she won't be getting home.. and they had another exchange student from Turkey who booked a flight to come up here for Christmas this year, but...??? (LOL my friend has been having exchange students since her brother was a freshman, I think there's been 6 or 7.) Well I don't know how true the second part of this post is...but I thought I'd give you my thoughts.

I think it is sad too. People must realize that you can't judge somebody by the color of their skin.

They get this idea that all Muslims are bad, even though only a few are responsible for the attack on America.

We had just begun to bring our guards down and really get to let others see our true colors. Then something like this happens and we get out our masks again and wear them. Each face has an identical expression, an expression that holds nothing even similar to our real personality. Maybe one of these days, we will find peace enough to remove those masks and live in true peace.

I'm sorry if I offended anybody with my message and I'm sorry that it is on the long side.

that is SO true. When we think of "terrorists" we always think of the Middle East right away

Calm yourself.


I think it is sad and it makes me mad.

[theshark8777]

I'm not anti- anything. Just look at the facts. Most terroists are middle eastern decent. And I never said I was prejudice against any middle easterner, especially living in this county, they have as much right to be here as us. All I said was most terrorists are middle eastern.

The one thing that this country never has had is tolerance. It is a cruel fact that Americans are for the most part ignorant. I've never embraced stereotypes and have always condemed racism, but I must admit, I've caught myself making judgements in the past couple of weeks based on ethnicity. It isn't OK - the Americans who spray paint mosques and loot Arab owned stores are no better than the KKK burning crosses in the yards of African Americans. But at the same time, I'm frightened. These people who did it walked amongst us for years, and nobody knew what they are up to. So I've been on hightened alert lately. If I see a man with a beard and a turban, I admit, I've been judging him a little differently, only because I'm afraid to trust him.

Jeeeeeze, I was only saying what was true. ANY person in this world is capable of doing this, no matter black or white, Hispanic or Asian, Russian or whatever. Now if someone says the word "Terrorist" to me I automatically think "Middle East". The Middle East certainly are not the only Terroist people in the world. They may have been the only people to do something about their..um, hatred, but they are not the only ones. Just had to put my 2 cents in

Smartly put, Meg. I totally agree that we cannot judge the many from the acts of a few.

[Chocoholic]

For anyone who thinks that all terrorists are foreigners, most likely Muslim, I have 2 words for you: Timothy McVeigh.

[Warner520]

People who are Middle-Eastern aren't the only ones being treated differently these days. People from South Asia, particularly India, are also being blamed. I don't know if you all heard this, but several Sikhs were murdered after the September 11 attack. One Sikh in Texas was murdered at his gas station...the murderer said that he thought he was a terrorist. (Sikhs wear turbans) In some of my classes, people are acting really immature, and asking everyone what their nationality is...Some people are blaming Muslims, and saying "Go back to your country"...This is just very wrong. People are not educated enough. They think that if someone wears a turban, they are friends of Osama Bin Laden. They think that if you are Muslim, you were not affected by the attack. It was said somewhere that many American, British, and Indian people were the victims in the World Trade Center. Well, there were also Muslims who were affected by the attack. People ask, "What can we do to help?" The answers that they are hearing are, "Donate money and donate blood." Donating money and donating blood are EXCELLENT ideas, and I strongly urge everyone to do so, but there's something else that EVERYONE can do. Be kind to others, don't judge by one's skin color. We are ALL Americans, because we live in America. (By the way, if your not old enough to donate blood, money still helps.)
I'm really sorry that I rambled on and on, but this is an issue that deserves attention. I don't know how many of you actually read this, but I hope that you will think twice before judging others. Thanks.

[Ags2000]

Well said Warner520.

Even though theshark's remark was a bit..harsh, I can't help with agreeing slightly. But please, let me explain myself...
Okay, I will admit, I have a biased opinion. I'm a middle-class white girl in a liberal area.(Otherwise known as the Bay Area). We all have that sort of Berkeley attitude. Although, I have a surprising amount of friends who are Republicans. Go figure.
Sorry for the tangent...
Recently, I did a cause and effect essay on Racial Profiling at airports after the attacks. I had to go over if it was nessasary, etc. And with the more information I gathered, I started to understand why Airports are taking extra percautions. I mean, just look at it this way...The Irish(I.R.A. more specifically) have repeatingly "terrorized" England over the scuffles up in Northern Ireland. So of course, the British take percautions with the Irish when they visit England. Is anyone surprised about that? No. And I think the Irish expect that sort of scrutiny to an extent. But generally, the countries are on good terms.( Of course!)
I tend to think this situation the same way.
OF COURSE, for the time being, people coming from the Middle East will be "checked" out by security. It's not like we're throwing them in camps, like we did the Japanese Americans during WWII.
I must stress to you all that I have nothing against Arab-Americans. Nothing at all. I have many friends who are of that descent. And they even agree with me as well.
I do, however, have MUCH against extremists who think their religion is better than other's. I DO have something against the Taliban. I do have something against Bin Laden. Is that wrong?

You are of course welcome to your opinion, but you shouldn't essentially tell me to f*#k off because I disagree. It only makes you and your argument look more ignorant.

Bootsy, I would demote your decription, "small-mindedness" to infinitesimal- mindedness. That would be more accurate.

I hate to admit it, but I agree. The government should
close down the borders so
no one else is aloud in.

1. We (The United States) are, and have always been, a nation of "foreigners;" and this is, and has always been, a great strength of our country. We would not be where we are today without the immigrants (famous and unknown) who made America what it is now.

2. Closing our borders to legal immigration would not have prevented what happened on Sept. 11th.

3. Americans are more violent than almost any other peoples of the world, as evidenced by our murder and crime rates.

4. The type of ethnocentric, jingioistic claptrap you are expressing is part and parcel of the reason Americans are hated around the world.

5. Religious fundamentalism and the arming of religious extremists to fight our national enemies brought us to this sorry pass, NOT our openness to legal immigration.

Care for me to come up with more reason why we SHOULD NOT close our borders?!? Because I certinaly could but frankly I have homework to do right now.

Here's a final note:

THE NEW COLOSSUS
Emma Lazarus

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

[Kitt]

About border closing. Not a good idea, I'm in agreement with Bootsy. Beyond that though the notion that "our goverment" could succeed in accomplishing such imperviousness shows a confidence of mythological proportion in the government. We aren't impervious as we were well reminded of on Sep 11. To go on thinking that we are, or that our government can do anything it chooses to do is a naive and dangerous trust. So few have caused you to fear so many. That is a misplaced fear, a waste of time and energy that could be directed toward the real problem.

Why, thank you for sharing. I never told u to F*#k off or w/e, I said screw u....it doesnt mean the same thang. I gave fair warning that I dont care what u hafta say to me. And what do they wear on their heads? Towels yes thats correct...therefore that would be a towelhead.

Divisionbabe:
Judginng by your venomous return to the board, you do care what people have to say to you. Actually, you said damn towelheads. S..off and F..off are one and the same. To argue semantics about it is disingenuous and not credible. But to the problem: terrorism. Ask yourself if your solution--kicking out "towellheads"--will ever happen. Ask yourself, if it did, would terrorism end or even be abated? Do you want to help solve the problem or spew insults and retorts?

Screw "u" and F*#k off are essentially the same thing, as you would know if you had a grasp of semantics above a second grade level. After all, what do we call an act of sex? Screwing...and well, bingo, we also call it f*#king. Just one example of many as to why they are essentially the same.

Again, your problems with the grasp of the english language are evidenced by not being able to notice the simple difference between a towel and a turban. Allow me to help you, since you probably burned your dictionary along with your other books...

TOWEL: (n)-an absorbant cloth or paper for wiping and drying something wet.

TURBAN: (n)-a man's headdress worn cheifly by Muslims, consisting of a long cloth wound around the head.

Even if you are so ethnocentric as to demote a culturally significant headdress to a mere piece of cloth used to swab our bodies, you are ignornant for reducing an entire culture's identity to that headdress.

WAIT! I guess all Americans are cowboys after all, since that seems to be the predominant stereotype that ignorant foreigners reduce our culture to.

Are YOU a cowboy Divisionbabe05?

If you really don't care what I have to say to you, then please, don't respond. We can all live without your racist babble.

I am interested in helping you overcome your xenophobic tendencies. Trust me, you won't make it far in our ethnically diverse culture if you cling to them and continue to voice them, unless you go hide yourself in some log cabin in the woods somewhere and do nothing with your life other than read white supremist literature. If you do continue to voice your racist ideas, don't come crying to me when you wake up with swastikas spray-painted on your dorm room door.

Brilliant reply, kittflynn. Just as you claim I helped you to "see the light" a few days back, you have helped me to see the light.

I am not going to erase my last post because I think it needs to be said...however, I am going to try to refrain from lowering myself to a level I don't like being at, which I just did a few minutes ago. From now on, I am going to try to focus on the issues and refrain from name-calling.

Most of you know that is how I generally operate. Some of my posts in this thread are somewhat out of character for my generally mild mannered nature. However, some things just incense me....

[angel676]

The reason I said that the
borders should be shut down
is because, the foreigners
are coming in and somewhat
taking over. Look around your
home, house, apartment and
what-not. Almost everything
is foreign. Now, I will admit
that the US and other countries are in trade, which is great. But, in my eyes, it
looks like the foreigners are
slowly coming over and taking
over. Do we, the US Americans
want that? I highly doubt that! Now, as far as foreigners wanting to come live here, good luck trying!
Some of them are killed trying to leave their country
especially the people in Afganistan. If they try to escape or leave, they will be
killed. For those of them who
have made it over, good for them. But, the US can't keep
letting these people in. If we keep letting in, I guarantee they WILL take over! Almost everything we have is foreign, true? So, they are slowly taking over!
I realize the goods that the
US and other countries are trading are helping each other, that I do understand, but can someone tell me what
around you or us is American,
besides some of the people in
this country? Sorry this was
so long!

Divisionbabe05, your from Arkansas? I would have never guessed.....

Bootsy, brilliant comeback. I think that Divisionbabe05 is probably young and is just trying to sound cool by repeating some ignorant remark she heard from a friend, sibling, parent, whatever. Maybe when she is on the receiving end of such harsh statements, she will realize that strong language can hit harder than a fist and should be used responsibly. Not doing so does not make you sound cool or intelligent - it just makes you sound ignorant. There is nothing worse in life than ignorance.

Yall are prolly thinking im an all D's and F's student who doesnt care bout anything but your very wrong. I make A's and B's and my GPA is currently a 3.6. I shouldn't have said Screw u, so I take that back. Also to those of you who were talking bout English and how I prolly dont know it or something like that.

[Kitt]

Divisionbabe05:
No one used the word stupid. Stupid is a condition one can do little about. Ignorant is a condition that can be changed. One way to do that is to listen to what others say and to carefully consider what you, yourself say. "I have been raised not to be racist, but when these people..." Divisionbabe, when you clasify a whole people as the enemy due to the acts of a few, that is racist. If you can't see that, I'm sorry.

[Bootsy Whoosh]

Divisionbabe05, I do not think you are stupid. However, I also no do not think having a high GPA, getting good grades, and being in Advanced English means that your statements should be excused. By some measures, Hitler could be considered to be a brilliant man. However, he was blinded by his racism and prejudice.

It is understandable that you are pissed off. We all are to some degree. The difference is whether or not you take control of that anger and turn it into something constructive, or whether you make the situation worse by spreading hatred.

You have to realize that it wasn't "these people" who perpetrated these horrible acts. It was a select handful of extremists. After all, the reason all of this happened in the first place is because "those people" judge all Americans by the actions of a select few. Does that mean that we should be just as judgemental. Maybe some people think so...but is that going to solve anything? I think the answer is an unqualified "no."

I appreciate you taking back the "screw you" statement, I hope it wasn't merely lip service. As a sign of good faith, I take back the personal attacks I made on you. I am sorry.

The whole point is, I really would like you to maybe think about what you (and others, of course!) are saying. I am not trying to single you out. I applaud you for having the courage to speak your mind...

I may never change your mind. But you can't blame me for trying. Spreading hatred will never solve any problem. Maybe many years from now, if you ever hear someone else saying things similar to what me and others here have said, it will have some kind of cumulative effect.

[Acting Girl 19]

Ok, when I say Iran and UAE(UNITED ARAB EMEGRANTS) do you think Sept. 11? just want to know.

I think it is very wrong to juge people from other countries. I don't thats for sure and especaly Iran and UAE.

[Bootsy Whoosh]

No I don't. And it's Emirates, don't know if that was just a typo or not...

[Kitt]

My answer is no. But I don't understand what you're getting at or why you are asking the question. there was yet another program on pbs this evening about the very subject we are talking about. That being, this foolish stereotypical throw out the bad guys mentality and everything will come out smelling like roses talk. I've said it before but I will again read what is available out there. Because to be honest, as polite as I was trying to be recently I don't think some people are making enough effort to be taken seriously in a discussion.

[wren]

Oh.....well, I am staying out of this one.

[Bootsy Whoosh]

I also didn't really understand the question. Was it to demonstrate that not all Arabs are from Afganistan or Iraq?

One small point, I don't think that people of Iran or UAE are somehow more worthy of not being discriminated against. All innocent Arabs are worthy of not being discriminated against. Besides if people are basing their discrimination on matters of foreign policy, as it seems many are, Iran (ie the government, not all the citizens) has never (I don't think) been on good terms with America, and still isn't really now.

I could be totally off base with what you were trying to get across, I am not trying to put words in your mouth, so please say something if I misconstrued your post.

I mean, don't you think that's a little off the deep end? Like, take a look at New York, it's like a whole bunch of people of different back grounds...and still is, even after the Sept 11th attack....so should we close down NY till we clean it out of these "savages"
Ok, whoa...now we have gone back to when we first came over here and ran off the "savages" aren't we suppose to move forward?

Everybody says that they are against white being racist on black...well what's the difference between that and Americans being racist on Arabs.....face it, no matter how intelligent you put it...it's racisim, and that's just wrong!

Lumpy: Did you go out for anything, Dud?

Dudley: Well, I went out for football, but I got my finger stepped on, so my mother made me quit.

Eddie: Well listen-- I went out for basketball and I got my hair pulled, and my mother made ME quit.

Dudley: It's not that I was afraid of getting hurt or anything; it's just that-- well, it's kind o' hard to play the flute with a busted finger.

I don't know if you really understand or believe that using slurs like "towelheads" is wrong, but I'm glad that you have narrowed it down. As far as being happy that we are bombing Afghanistan, I think you ought to learn a little more about the implications of war. There is a reason we use it as a last resort. It is not pretty, it will cost billions of dollars, and many, many lives.

The reason I said that the
borders should be shut down
is because, the foreigners
are coming in and somewhat
taking over. Look around your
home, house, apartment and
what-not. Almost everything
is foreign. Now, I will admit
that the US and other countries are in trade, which is great. But, in my eyes, it
looks like the foreigners are
slowly coming over and taking
over. Do we, the US Americans
want that? I highly doubt that! Now, as far as foreigners wanting to come live here, good luck trying!
Some of them are killed trying to leave their country
especially the people in Afganistan. If they try to escape or leave, they will be
killed. For those of them who
have made it over, good for them. But, the US can't keep
letting these people in. If we keep letting in, I guarantee they WILL take over! Almost everything we have is foreign, true? So, they are slowly taking over!
I realize the goods that the
US and other countries are trading are helping each other, that I do understand, but can someone tell me what
around you or us is American,
besides some of the people in
this country? Sorry this was
so long!

So your definition of "taking over" is that a lot of the products in our home are made in foreign countries? And you do understand that we trade with these countries and that that is a good thing? Hmmmm....but do you understand that even if we closed our borders to immigration we would continue to trade with foreign nations? And that actually, we may loose some trade because we may piss countries off for becoming so isolationist? After all, why should an isolationist country need to trade with foreigners?

Wake up and smell the coffee....oh wait, on second thought... nevermind, since after all that coffee probably came from Columbia and you wouldn't want to support "them" slowly taking over.
