good point or not?

Question

You talk about “prejudice and acts of violence” by Americans during the first Persian Gulf war against Arabs.

I hear what you say. Several years ago, when I still had only Iranian citizenship, I had to visit US. As soon as the immigration officers saw my passport, they pulled me out of the line and took me to a separate room for interrogation. My baggage was searched and so my body. I felt humiliated. But I knew why they were doing this. In their place I would have done the same. Iran is the number one enemy of the U.S. A few years earlier the Iranians had taken the members of the American embassy as hostage. This was cowardly. Not only these criminals never apologized, they were (and still are) proud of their shameful stupidity. They had masterminded several terrorist acts against the US including the 1983 bombing of the US barrack in Lebanon that resulted in the death of 241 marines. Considering all that, I could see that the Americans were actually kind for letting me in their

country.


(just a continuation of the article that's why it's in R&S)

.:drai:., don't you think it's unfair to say you hate an entire country?

You've never even been to America right?

What's the statistic I heard 99% of terrorists are muslims, 99% of muslims are not terrorists.

What would happen to an American in the reverse situation?

Answer 1

Acutally, as much as i Hate America I kinda know what your feeling and they do deserve to do that But when I herd on the news that any Arab or Muslim boarding a plane in America.. In an Airport.. the Airport Peeps have the right to search you.. and even have you Not board the plane!!! JUST BECAUSE OF YOUR RELIGION OR BELIEFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I Still hate America

Answer 2

Your honesty is greatly appreciated. I am very familiar with the series of events you describe.
America does things to people that is offensive at times. But you had the courage and honor to realize that ONLY the series of events that had occurred between your country and the USA was the main reason for this happening.
It is getting harder for us all every day in the ever changing world theater, but America still remains the home of the Free and the Brave. It all came with a price through history, and I hope we never forget as a nation what it takes to remain this way.

Answer 3

I understand what your getting at. I agree with you if I were to go to another country a country that America had done many shame full things to I would expect them to treat me that way too, I wouldn't want it any other way. It is my prayer that there could be more peace in the middle east. I am proud of our soldiers serving in Iraq. I hope that someday they can live in some of the same peace that we do. That would be a start anyway. May God Bless Them All!

Answer 4

Thank you for looking at both sides of the issue. Yes, there are times that the U.S. acts with prejudice (and I hope that the prejudice is warranted).

It's also time that the U.S. wakes up and faces imminent dangers (islam being the leading one).

Answer 5

What's the question and how does this relate to this category?
