Since we all love to hate Muslims...

[QUOTE="Hexagon_777"]Doesn't seem to be the case here and the EU isn't even doing as much as the US as far as I am aware. Hundreds of millions of euros and dollars and pounds as well as food have been sent over. Pakistan has not been ignored.grape_of_wrath

1)When the haiti earthquake struck-there was a stickied thread in OT dedicated to donations by GS members.

2)When the haiti iearthquake struck celebrities worldwide lobbied heavily for the Haiti-aid campaign-I want to see Oprah go on screen as part of the 'Pakistan world-aid campaign'.

3)When the haiti earthquake struck there was not much else on the news besides it for days and weeks.

I would go on-but i'm not sure you even disagree about the Haiti-pakistan balance in those regards.I'm also very much unaware of the size of the aid offered to pakistan(which is unusual for me-since I usually steer clear of debates where I don't have all the facts) so if you could provide a source it would be nice.I'm also not suggesting pakistan was completely ignored-but the aid discussed,certainly, hasn't been the result of international pressure or interest (and i'm pretty sure isn't up to par with the amount of aid offered to haiti). Pakistan is just blessed at being a ,relative, global power-and those tend to have binding diplomatic connections...

Hate on Muslims as a whole is riduclous. A small minority of extremists does not represent the entire group. Several of my friends are Muslim and I know I love them.

[QUOTE="grape_of_wrath"]That's exactly my point-Chile generates much more attention and sympathy because Pakistan has the(public-not diplomatic) reputation of a leper...Which really isn't fair on the people of pakistan(cliche as I may sound right now...).ariz3260

Mine as well, we are actually in agreement.

To take it even further, we have more threads about Justin Bieber than Pakistan that I can see, probably about 5 to 1...

Really, what does that say about us, and what the media choose to let us see?...

Aware of that, but still there are too many Westerners out there that still don't understand.CommanderShiro

*looks at avatar* I don't see that conflict ever being solved sadly. I hope it does one day.

A bit preachy, but I get your point. Either way, I take OT with a grain of salt. If these people were face to face, I'm sure most would be singing a different tune when it comes to all the hate.

There are plenty of Muslims who don't understand a number of things.

That's right, we're the Great Satan. We don't stone people to death, or behead rape victims, or strap bombs to our children and send them into crowded restaurants to blow themselves up. But we are bigots because we don't believe a mosque should be built at Ground Zero, so yeah, I guess that's reason enough for us to have to be schooled in tolerance by Islamic extremists.

A lot of the hate against Muslims isn't even that overt. I doubt a lot of those people realize how bigoted they are deep down.

Denying aid would be overtly wrong, and they don't dislike Muslims THAT much. They realize that that would be inhumane.

As opposed to Muslims' hate against the rest of the world, which is completely and unashamedly overt.

The UK donated £75 million. Turkey (the wealthiest Muslim country I believe) donated £6 million. Thoughts?

I do not hate Muslims, you smartass :P

First of all its a cultural center, get your facts right.gaming25

If it's just a cultural center, then it's not protected as a house of worship and we have absolutely no reason to let them build it at all.

Thanks for making everything easier.

It's not fair that people blame the whole religion of Islam for the actions of a small group. The majority of Muslim are peaceful so to put the blame on all Muslims is unjust. It surprises me to see so many ignorance these days to be honest.

I don't hate on Muslims.

I openly dislike islam and their culture. It has not place in the western world.
I think all religions inspire to see differences among men, but in my opinion, islam goes a bit too far. doom3lv

I cannot debate the merits or demerits of islam with you because you are convinced that islam is always right.

I cannot win an argument with you.

So majwill24, Europe is defined by rampant and overt racism, right? Bit inappropriate of us to send supplies and financial aid to help people we are so racist against. Meh.

I ask you for proof and facts, and you cant give me either. So yes, you cannot win an argument with me.
