Overview of the West

Generally speaking, Anyone can call themselves what they want, and in the name of their cause do things that is not permitted by their cause/religion, but does that mean that all the people that follow that particular religion are the same?? Obviously not, So just because they call themselves "Hizbollah" has no relevance on the rest of the muslim community WORLDWIDE. I think you need to study a little more on the topics that you like to comment upon. I would be surprised if you knew the meaning of your own name. Maybe you do.

When a bomb is detonated why do the media bring religion into it?? They only do that when it happens to be a muslim, and because they bring Islam into every evil act caused by a believing Muslim or not, the name Islam, or Muslim, will definately be mentioned, no matter what newspaper, TV channel, or even news channels. And that is exactly one of the plans of the West, to create a threatning view of Islam, so whenever the name (Islam/Muslims) is mentioned people automatically think of all the evil things and words that the media have associated with it in the past, so therefore they will have a one way thinking, and this is very advantageous to the politicians in the West, especially when they have a fall out with one of the muslim world leaders. All they have to say is "we have reason to believe that he has WMD" and thats it, he is supported by all the country, and its allies, and he will not be questioned by anyone, even if he goes to war without the consent of the U.N. What a joke!!

I believe that the west are underachieving and im sure they have enough brains, resources, diplomats, and technology to figure out how to generate great sums of money and strengthen the economy, without murdering innocent muslims and occuping and stealing the lands that belong to the muslims. or maybe they dont..... I really dont know.

May God have mercy on you and all the muslims around the world that are experiencing this very testing time.
