Are Arabs terrorists ?
Absolutely not. Arabs are people just like anybody else. Some people think all Arabs are Muslims and that Muslims are terrorists, neither of which is true. Most of the Arabs in the U.S. are Christians, and those Arabs in the U.S. who are Muslims are law-abiding people. People need to stop generalizing about entire groups of people.
Why do you associate terrorism with islam/arabs?
Peeps associate Islam with terrorism..it's a common stereotype. Since all the terrorism that has happened in the last 3 decades has had a link to Islamic extremists. but not all terrorists are Islamic, nor are all of them Arab...look at peeps in our own country, the murderers, rapists, and Mr. Mc Veigh..he wasn't Muslim, or of Arab descent, he was just plain nuts. Islam is a religion built around peace and family...not terrorism and murder. To answer your question about other religious extremists...yes, they do exist, and are very dangerous, but Western media sees fit to point the finger of blame at Muslims.
In ur opinion r arabs terrorists?/?
You mean generalizing an entire nation based on the actions of a few? If you consider them terrorists, then every nation in the world is a terrorist, because every nation contains a terrorist group. America itself was founded on terrorism. The American resistance fighters during the revolutionary war were considered terrorists by the English government, and yet we view them as heros.
Why are Muslims often stereotyped as terrorists?
Q: Why are many terrorists identified as Muslim?Ans: Because the kind of world we are living in, demonizes the oppressed and glorifies the oppressor. Because muslims don't own CNN, BBC and FOX news.Because when USA/NATO/ISRAIL etc drop bombs on our cities, some of us survive with only one purpose to take revenge of our families. Because muslims have this concept of brotherhood which goes something like this, "The believers in their mutual kindness, compassion and sympathy are just like one body. When one of the limbs suffers, the whole body responds to it with wakefulness and fever"_Prophet Muhammad. So, they see muslims getting killed every where, be it Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan etc. and nobody bats an eye, they have developed a sense of collective victim hood.Furthermore, terrorism is the most manipulated word in geo-political lexion. It means use of force or intimidation in pursuit of political aims. Logically it follows any organization(islamic or secular) which kills people to further it's political interests is a terrorist organization. Thus every secular nationalistic army is a terrorist organization too and YES it includes Armed forces of imperialist powers who fought two world wars and killed millions of human beings. So either you stop using this word 'terrorist/terrorism' or don't be selective in your condemnation.You want to know about the worst terrorist attack in history? It was carried out by most civilized nation on earth. You got me, i am talking about mighty USA. When Colonel Paul Tibbets and Charles Sweeney nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki and killed 100 thousand innocent people. Even now children are born with deformities there. Or maybe you guys don't consider it as an act of terror because killing innocent human beings is less horrible if sanctioned by Nations or League of Nations. So, USA/NATO crusaders can invade our countries on false pretext of WMD's, plunder our natural resources, or for catching their boogeymen in Afghanistan/Pakistan and bomb our cities kill our children and when we retaliate, we are terrorists because they have got BBC, CNN and FOX news on their side, putting veneer over the dirty actions of their armies and plastering their agenda all over the international arena. We muslims are the biggest victims of terrorism. We are getting killed by both muslim militant groups and Western secular armies.
What do Americans think of Arabs?
Americans view the Arabs through Holywood lens. They portray the Arab men as nomads walking with their camels and ten wives covered head to toe are walking behind them. The women are being enslaved into submission with no rights of their own. It is a stereotypical portrayal that is very far from the real Arab world. Americans think that Arabs scream and yell Allahu Akbar all the time, they have no real life value, they worship death because in heaven there will be 72 virgins waiting for them to take them on. Americans believe that Arabs hate them because of the extraordinary freedom that they enjoy and the immodest way of dressing particularly the women exposing a lot of skin when out in the public, This is obviously a corrupt view stemming from the movie theaters across the United States, it lacks provenance and can't be corroborated with real living native people from the MiddleEast. Queen Rania of Jordan released a number of videotapes talking about the Arabs and their way of life. They are available on Youtube. They present unfiltered view of what the Arabs are like. The views are nonbiased, free of slant and nonpartisan. Americans don't really know all that much about the Arabs because there aren't that many Arabs residing in the USA. Some statistics put their numbers at 2 to 3 million scattered over 50 states out of 330 Millon people living in America. Their number is negligible in comparison to other races. That by itself doesn't excuse them from not doing a better job at marketing themselves to the Americans so they can view them in a more favorable fashion. Some already established thinktank Arab organizations have made some efforts to polish the Arab image in America but it is still nowhere near what is supposed to be. for as long as the Americans don't understand the Arab culture, history, and religion they will continually view them in a negative way. Rich Arab countries like Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states need to invest some money in US-based public relations organization and commission them to instill the good Arab images to the American people and eschew from the bad publicity that is being projected by Hollywood.
What do Greeks think of Arabs?
Many in the Greek diaspora outside of Greece love the Arab world. Many Greeks are starting to identify as Middle Easterners, supporting their regional family.The diaspora supports all Arabs and their walks of life.Greek people themselves are more mixed, but most outsude the Golden Dawn still love Arabs.Greek people rescued Syrians from the Mediterranean, Greeks are taking strides in learning Arabic, the Greeks and the Greek government has been known to support Palestine.Likewise, the Greeks love Arabs because they love them too. The Athens 2004 Olympic Games are the only modern olympic games in the last 70 years to not experience some form of terrorist attack or violent protest. Many say the Saudi king is to thank, as the Saudi king threatened any person or nation who would even try to attack the Greeks or disrupt the games.Aside from a few xenophobes and the Glden Dawn, Greeks both young and old love the Arabs and the Arab world. They are our brothers and sisters and, as a Greek, I say thank god the Arabs exist and show us the love that so many nations are neglecting to give us any more. I hope we can return the favour.
What do you think of Arab people?
As a Greek I have respect for their ANCIENT civilization. I have no racist feelings against them, like most Greeks. In general I do not fall for what is “usual” that Arabs means terrorists! I cannot blame a whole race for the acts of a minority. As for their religious beliefs, I simply do not care or mind as far as they do not annoy me! I have a few feelings of sorrow about the way they treat their females, since they do not offer them equal rights (usually), this could be my only “complaint”. In general I have no problems with them, I see them as another race and there is no prejudice against them. Actually where I live, in the same building, a family of Arabs live and we have the best of relations.
