I'm Moslim, Arab and Egyptian.
Yesterday, 11/9 I asked my self this question "Will an American person belive me when I say I love America and like Americans?)
I had many Amerian collegues in my previous job and we were real friends. I did not meet any of them one year before 11/9/2001.
Maybe their fillings will be changed because of what a group related to my country did to their people and country.
This group acted like that, as they belive that USA is strongly supporting Isarael who occupaied Arab lands.
I want to be more frank. I may disagree with many acts from America toward Arab countries specialy what is related to Palastinian case, but I like America the society and the civilization and freedome and like the american's life style and way of thinking.
Now... Do you belive me when I say I love America?

Sure.
If you're going to say it, you might as well believe it. What would you have to gain by lying?
I'm an American, but a lot of the time I don't like our life style and culture...and our freedoms seem to be dissolving bit by bit as each day passes. That doesn't make me a terrorist or even to say that I hate America. But I'm not going to deny the fact that we could use some work, the country isn't perfect.

I do not know you either way. You could be lying and you could be telling the truth. Sure a lot of people place no trust in 'your people' nowadays. Not my problem. If a group of Native Americans blew up the trade center, I am sure I'd be hated too. I wouldn't spend my time whining, I'd spend my time finding the terrorists on the list. You have better inside access if you really truly care to make a difference.

My son-in-law if from India, their family is Hindu. I believe they will always love their homeland more than America.
That's were they were born, raised and have family and friends.
Do they love our country, yes, it has made them rich.
I don't know you well enough to say, but a lot of immigrants love America, they can prosper here. It's a great country. And here you have freedom which everyone loves.
And I think you mean 9/11/01

No. Before 9/11, before I saw Arab Imams on TV declaring that America is the Great Shaitan, with no one contradicting them, I did, in spite of OPEC, the bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut, the bombing of the USS Cole, and the bombing of the WTC.
We are a gullible people, we Americans, but there comes a limit. Nowhere in your statement above did you denounce the heinous crimes of your countrymen and "brethren in Islam" committed "in the name of Allah". In fact, you began to rationalize and justify them.
Don't blame me for this distrust. Blame your Imams, both the ones who curse America and the ones who permit the cursing to go unanswered. Blame AlQaeda, Hezbollah, and Hamas.

Palestinains are only oppressed by their own leadership...as is the case with most Arab countries...blaming America for the problems in Arab countries is to ignore the gross failures of their own governments.
I do believe you however...

Why do need people to believe you? In this lifetime, I might never completely love my God for me to perfectly love my God I also have to love all people and that is a tough order for me. All are God.

If your actions show you are you are. What have you to gain to lie online? Maybe in person.
