Re: Hatred against America…
Dear Lajwab, interesting thread! Thanks.
Your post reminds of the short story about the blind men and the elephant in the room. Each one touched the elephant and described the beast as a “wall”, "spear”, “snake”, “tree”, or “fan” etc.
(read the link for complete poem http://www.noogenesis.com/pineapple/blind_men_elephant.html)
Read the last part of the poem that says
**
And so these men of Indostan (Indian Subcontinent)
Disputed loud and long,
Each in his own opinion
Exceeding stiff and strong,
Though each was partly in the right,
And all were in the wrong!**
So like blind men we all talk about America and the source of anti-Americanism changes with who the hater is:
Kommies hate America for its economic freedom
Arabs hate American due to its pro-Israeli policies
Maualans hate America for having stopped the $$ flow after the defeat of Kommies
Many ex-British colonies hate America for not doing enough for them
Anarchists (lefties or terrorists and Maulanas) hate America for “imposing” an order or acting as a policeman.
You are a smart man, so I am sure you would be able add more to this list. However the bottom line is pretty simple. Americans through their hard work, honesty, ethics, brutality etc. have gained the top power status (please note: US is top power and not super power. Only Allah or God is the super power).
Like any top power of the world before them, Americans will do what they like until they lose their will to rule the world. At that time some other country will take over the top role.
May be Chinese will be the next top power, but if you think they won’t impose their policies then you may need to read some world history.
No matter what, the current path advocated by Arab or Iranian Maulanas is surely the path of self destruction (suicide bombing is just one of those $tupid things). They are going to suffer this way even at the hands of Chinese unless these Maulanas learn to live in this world.
Let’s remember the quake victims in Pakistan in our prayers. May Allah give help to deal with this tremendous loss.
Best regards
