all generalizations are wrong
A resent poll asked people if they thought all Muslims hated Americans, repressed women and wanted to destroy our way of life. Now I will get back to the subject matter in a minute but I wanted to highlight a statement made by the spokeswoman for the poll.
“I would like to think people are smarter then this, but the truth is that people just generalize too much.” – A representative for a Muslim group.
It is good that the person who took this poll understands that all generalizations are bad. If you are looking for the humor in this still, do not worry it is not you I am making fun of it is everyone else.
Now, on too Muslims and the American public, Muslims need a marketing campaign. Most American are like me, The plight of the Muslims is something we care about, it is just that we do not see much from their point of view. Your spokesmen are Yasser Arafat and guys with hoods on Al Jazeera with AK-47s.
One of the reasons Israel get some much support is we see the damage done to them. Last week I drove by the Bus 19 exhibit. The exhibit displays the shell of a bus destroyed along with 11 bus riders by a suicide bomber in Jerusalem. The exhibit has travel all over the country. When we think about Israel, we see victims of suicide bombing.
I know not all Muslims are terrorists, not all Israelis are victims, and not all Americans are stupid. Now that we are beyond the generalizations…
