How far, in your opinion, can you go before generalising the population of a country/ creed becomes second nature.

For instance, whilst on holiday I met a large contingent of other tourists from another country. They were, without exception, acting like as*holes, but I told myself, 'these guys are just bad ambassadors for their country- it's bound to be a nice place in reality,'. Them some months later, I visited their country (well, only one city) and, as before everyone I met had the same intolerant, anti-social traits. So I said, 'no, they aren't all like this- I'm just biased because of my previous encounter,'.

Then I get back home, and this country is on the news, and everyone around me is saying, 'what as*holes!'

So my question is, even though it might not be ethical, can you reach a stage where it is understandable to categorise an entire country, even though there might still be 1 or 2 good souls there?

ok, i certainly know how to pick the guy to like - class president, quarterback, and darn near perfect in every way. i think that he liked me, cuz a couple of years ago, he kinda made a move, but i shot him down, and i tried to get over him, and i did, but now i have him in a lot of classes and i'm hooked. my friend says that he stares at me, and i know he used to, but i don't know if he still does. anyway, my window of opportunity - homecoming - slipped by way too fast without me making a move. i can't seem to talk to him, and i can barely hold eye contact for more than a few seconds! :( in my school, the cliques aren't very established... and i am smart, and in the group that is kinda average - mainly, not wanting to be in drama, but normal. (we have three groups - jocks, preps, and people not wanting to be in drama... and then there is the few weirdos spread in all that) anyway, i think i want to make a move, but i don't know if i can. what should i do?

i just moved to a new school and there is this guy that i like, he is in 4 of my 8 classes... and i'll catch him looking at me and i'll smile and he'll smile back or sometimes he'll try to make me laugh and stuff. he talks to me a lot, teases me, and we always wants me to hang out with him. we have groups in science and he is always wanting me to ditch mine and come to his... and when we have free time in computer class he always wants me to come sit by him and play a 2-player game with him cuz he says it isn't fun playing by yourself. and he got a note from a girl and it asked him if he liked anyone in his 7th hour...and i'm in his 7th hour. he showed me the note and asked me who i thought wrote it cuz the girl who handed it to him said it wasn't from her. she isn't in our 7th hour and i told him i thought it was a really nerdy fat girl who everyone hates cuz she is super smart and he said i hate you and teased me about saying that she liked him. does he like me? should i ask him out?

During the time of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) there was a man called Abu Lahab, he was the enemy of Islam. While this man was still alive, God revealed a verse saying that he will go to Hell. So it was a prophecy.

He indeed lived and died as a non-believer. If he wanted to prove that Quran was false, he could have just said I believe in God and he would prove it false. But he never did, instead he was the fiercest enemy of Islam and died as one.
