Is the worlds media at fault?
I answered a question from a muslim and was totally rude (sorry) and was totally not understood. It was a question about women's rights and linking it to women being loose with their bodies because of women's rights. It never occurred to me that women's rights and being loose with their bodies had anything to do with each other. It occurred to me that we are all misinformed when it comes to the east, west, and other cultures. Our media has shaped all of us weather muslim or christian to hate, and be fearful of both sides. The misunderstanding and false impressions given to us is pulling our world apart. After thinking about this I realized that we as a people need to look past the media and really understand that western christians are not all infidels and promiscuous and that not all eastern muslims are evil bombers. Don't you think we all need to just shut of the news for a while and think for ourselves? I for one am tired of being manipulated and hope more people can see through the propaganda on both sides. Anyone else agree?
To onewhosubmits: Yes I can see your point, and yes my husband and I would be at the door with guns and probably get killed. The point is..you are also being fed the information that all westerners want to kick down your door and invade your home. We are not like that. I am just as confused by all of this as you are. I am very confused as to why someone would want to strap a bomb to him/her self and kill their own countrymen...it just doesn't make any sence to me. But this is the view that our media is giving us. that all Muslums are willing to kill for the sake of killing. I personally don't believe this but you and we need to look beyond what we are being told.

I like your thinking. I have always wondered though, where do we find the TRUTH about such things? I would really love to learn about these other cultures but who or what sources can be believed? Good question!

possibly McCain might are growing to be an analogous press...if he had invited them alongside! of direction, he develop into so frightened of being uncovered for the fool he's that he in basic terms allowed his pre-approved %. of media sycophants to accompany him on his holiday and throw him softball questions. and then turns around and whines that the media did no longer pay interest to his holiday. What a hypocrite! anyhow, of direction Obama is attracting a media frenzy, by using no fault of his very own. he's the 1st doable decrease back candidate for president the US has ever had. this is a super deal. McCain is old, white, and has no new or exciting rules= no longer information. Republicans could desire to recover from it and supply up the whining already.

It was discovered in the 1960's that who-ever controls the mass-media controls the people and the planet. We are not free thinking intelligent creatures, we think about that which we are told to think about, in usually exactly the same manner as we are told to think about it. We are only educated as far as those at the top desire us to be educated. (Do you know anything at all about the spirit realm; which is easily accessed by most human minds?)
About three months ago I removed the entire mass-media network from my life almost completely. I HAVE NEVER FELT SO GOOD! I know that there are illegal wars happening, which I would love to stop, but I can't. I just prevent as many people as I can from joining the armed forces, for they are the source of our oppression. I still hear about what is being done to my race by those at the top of society, and it still pains me that so many people actually believe what they are told. I am trying to make people aware of what is being done to them. It is much harder than you would imagine. Your question indicates that you are waking to the dream that we've had weaved around our consciousnesses. Well done. The final destination is like Lord Rhoop's dark cloud of nightmares though, more scary than you can imagine!

Peace be upon you sister,
Essentially you must remember, there are a few powerful greedy people, who want to make alot of money, their plot is already underway, and to prevent people from rebelling they play you the propaganda to shift your thinking, so that common people are not disturbed by the idea of bombing entire cities, rolling up with tanks, and then kicking down their doors with M16's in their hands.
Imagine for one sec, if bombers were flying over your street, then the tanks came rolling down, pulling into your driveway, and the soldiers kicking down your door.
How would you feel? Wouldn't your brother or your dad try to protect his family and his land?

I can agree not all westerners are Christians..thereby agreeing Christians are not promiscuous. I can agree that not all Muslims are terrorist through the Qu'ran does teach killing infidels but not all Muslims are good Muslims and not all Christians are good Christians.
I agree the world would be better if all who claimed Christ followed his teachings..and if all who claimed Muhammad did not follow his teachings.

Let's all sing the chorus of "everything is beautiful!" Peace will come when Jesus gets back. Jesus said, "If the world hates me, know it will hate you, too."

Most people get their information from biased sources that don't threaten presuppositions.
