All great empires eventually collapse from internal rot, stupidity and decay.
I do believe that if America continues on it's current path, it will destroy itself because American culture seems to worship greed, hate, war, ignorance.
I would like to add my two cents to what you have written.
I am Canadian and I have worked in a company where about 50% of the people were Muslims. And they were very gentle, beautiful humble people! I had a chance to participate in Eid with them.
We got along very well! I learned very much about Islam, I've read the Quran as well.
And I believe that both Muslims in the east and Americans in the west suffer from the same problem - cultural ignorance of each other, and therefore because of ignorance, hatred takes root and breeds war, death, and the kinds of bad feelings you have observed.
It's ironic, isn't it!
I've been to America and the average American isn't an egomaniac, isn't rich, isn't Britney Spears. Most Americans are nice people (at least the ones I have met). But their government LOVES to behave very badly against other nations.
Why?
Because by spreading hate and fear, there is PROFIT for war companies (weapon manufacturers) and government officials.
See, the real problem is the corruption of truth and the misinformation and misrepresentation of what Islam can mean for the west, and what American can mean for the east.
Peace can be had.....but first the eyes must be opened and the sluggish brains must be awakened, pried away from stupid senseless BLIND devotion to the idol of popular choice and realize the universality of mankind's common brotherhood.
We all have one Creator. And it doesn't matter WHAT the Creator is called in any language - the thought in the mind is that there is one Creator.
Therefore it is totally absurd and primitive to wage senseless battles, arguing over who is right - we are all right and at the same time we are all wrong for arguing and being so small-minded.
Do you see?
Anyway.....be at peace. Try not to let the ignorance spread by mass media and the rude, painful words of uneducated people hurt you.
