America, the Disliked, but why so much?

When I joined this forum, I thought you were looking for answers!!! The questions are obvious enough. Get a Life, Folks! Cass. P.S., Herjihad: Forgive me.  We seem to be sharing The Colour Purple.  Pistols at Dawn?  Or shall we just get together for a cup of tea? "She who shall not be named" now seems to be a distant memory.  I am happy to go back to Green?

Bismillah,

I don't know.  It's not so important to me. Color choice is so optional.  And do you think we should commit to just one color?

But if you have to say that �it is YOUR perception� that a Muslim meant to say that he or she hates America, then please don�t even bother to answer.

Sister, so many of them have come and gone; but you are new.  Still, don't make statments like this because we want you to stay!

Patriotism, for you, and for me, and for all of us, means not allowing the truth to be the first casualty of war. Never so true a statement.  Once upon a time the US stayed out of Foreign Affairs.  The Monroe Doctrine was very simple, you stay out of our Affairs and we'll stay out of yours.  Over the years, this deteriorated into further and further excuses to interfer in the Western Hemisphere and was finally thrown out all together with World War I. Globalization has caused a number of problems.  Isolationism is no longer viable but neither is the constant interference. I love the United States, but she needs to learn to mind her own business.  Human suffering will continue no matter what we do.  But at the very least we can not cause any new problems.

Bismillah,

I agree that at the very least we can try with all of our hearts and efforts not to cause any new problems.

In this world we have to have a passport.  So mine is American.  I consider myself a loyal Muslimah earthling.

I went to one group that was talking about the Middle East situation. I felt like things were in a time warp as the speaker talked about "Comrade Lenin" and "Comrade Castro"

After watching the natural strengths of these women, here, I am now certain that only women will be able to put our planet right. Poor man has shown his best ability and look what it has come to look like!

Sarsawati women were smart, they kept men for mere menial tasks. Sad, but my gender was not manufactured for what we have started to assume - responsibility for the society.
