Racizm or hatred, what is the difference?

Europeans invited millions of Arabs and Turks to work in their countries.Those Workers were the least educated ones from the most remote areas.They accepted millions of refugees from muslim countries mainly from Turkey Irak and old African French colonies without questioning if they were criminals or terrorists.And now they face the difficulties of living with these minorities.and this is causing reactions and serious racizm. But as a muslim I can really understand Europeans fears. And I dont blame them. Maybe there is a similar situation in Australia. I have no idea about them.

But USA's situation ,no matter how hard tries to create a total enemy as christians against muslims is very different. This is more than hatred or racism. USA has big plans and is actually trying to invade and change all the borders in the middle east. Nobody here believes that USA is trying to help Arabs or wants to see democracy in these countries. All the dictators are surrendered anyway. 9/11 gave a reason for the USA to run this plan. So, 9/11 attacks are really very suspicious.

Today in America we know that there is a great hate against the muslims.But we dont have hatred against Christianity. We know that this situation is created by Mr Bush. He persuaded you that the Arab terrorism is done not as a reaction for Phalestanian and Irak problems and petroleum and cultural invasions but to islamize the world. He persuaded you that America has a great victory in Irak and Arabs are free,happy people now.

Well, my friends we dont think so. We think what USA doing in the world is extremely immoral. We have great dislike to American politics (Not less than your islam hate) and I dont think this atmosphere can change in the short period.
