Iranians and arabs make two very different cultures. The way an iranian sees business, individuality, art and such differ from the arab view worldview, of course im talking in general.
Wow, that’s reaching John. How many successful American Jews grew up in Israel?

Well I am not trying to deny them anything. I am not even sure if they consider themselves American? Do they?
I am not really trying to make a point about Muslims. But it seems the nationality of these two is different than he is making it out.
I wouldn’t brag with her if I were Iranian.

She and Shohreh Aghdashloo are both major MILFs (that happen to be Iranian). But other than that…
… I guess that’s enough.
Amanpour: “The Amanpours led a privileged life under the government of the Shah of Iran. She completed her primary education in Iran and at the age of 11, her parents sent her to boarding school in England. She attended and graduated from an all-girls school, New Hall School in Chelmsford, Essex, England. Christiane returned to England not long after the Islamic Revolution began. She stressed that they were not forced to leave but rather when they were returning, Iraq invaded Iran and so they stayed and after a while it just became difficult to return to Iran.” (Wikipedia)
As to the whole cultural thing. Lots of Iranians have this mentality of success when raising their kids in the west. They want, encourage and push their kids to become doctors, business men, lawyers, etc. A lot of immigrants have this mentality though.
Yes, Muslims get harassed at airports. So do old ladies, people in wheel chairs, Swedish midgets, and everyone else. But perhaps that Yemeni guy carrying a Belgian passport with more eraser marks than Jay-Z’s trig final deserves a little closer attention.
Also, nobody has more hatred for Muslim terrorists than the native Muslims in Iraq or Afghanistan. The U.S. military treats terror suspects with kid gloves (I know because that used to be my job), while their Islamic “brethren” just wanted shoot them all by the side of the road and bury them in mass graves. They tend to get sightly angry when a few radicals bring a war to their doorstep and use their children as cannon fodder.
I would agree that most Muslims have a very capitalist outlook. I live in Bahrain today, where the free market is alive and well, and all of my non-military friends are Muslim. For those American Christians and Jews who still remember what traditional values are, those of Muslims are almost identical. Bringing religion into a political debate has rarely been a tactic of American politics, and has never been an effective one. It is radical Muslims who bring politics into religion, claiming that they are persecuted, even as they use free speech to openly preach Jihad. It is Americans who are too cowardly to point it out when they see it.
The main victims from “muslim” terrorists are other muslims.
^lol @ Swedish midgets
"I have seen plenty of opposition to it in posts by Muslim Americans which go: “I may be a Muslim, but I am an AMERICAN first.”
Really? I’ve personally never ever heard of any Muslim who would say something like that. I don’t even know of any that would even identify with their native countries like Iraq, Pakistan, or anything else either. In full knowledge of the corruption in those states. Many Muslim families started to put American flags outside their houses or on their cars after 9/11 just to avoid being labeled anti-american.
Stories like the one I posted earlier in this thread and the story of Aafia Siddiqui is what scare me. Anyone with a brain can tell they’re guilty of nothing.
