This may sound funny but it all had to start from some place! was there a lot of people or was there just one man that did all of this,no matter who did it . it had to be HArd!!
"Pakistanis are not real Muslims. They're converts. Islam was revealed to the Arabs"?
Well, This is why Pakistanis often have ( and Turkish, too) often have their own mosques. I attend a (mostly) Pakistani masjid, and I am American. I have been and still visit the Arab Mosques here. They are often very big and beautiful, but for me, I feel much more at home with Pakistanis, who don't have big fancy mosques, or cars. Our mostly Pakistani community here, works very, very, hard to keep building and expanding our masjid and land, and we've established a school to the 6th grade, all via donations of masjid members. Nothing was funded by Saudi Arabia. I love it when I see some Turks and Egyptians at Jummah regularly, but they are an exception to the rule. The cultures can be often so different, it's not always about race.
Is it lawful to block highways and entrances in protest? If not, what can be done to stop these people who claim free speech but curb the speech of others?
That depends on the place and the time. In Washington, D.C., where there are protests nearly every weekend, the police block off streets along the protest route and generally keep order (although all the demonstrations I’ve seen there have been orderly). People are sometimes arrested for blocking doorways, but usually the police tell them to move on. If some people want to be arrested, they stand in what is called the “picture window”, the place where people get their pictures taken in front of the White House, or else they handcuff themselves to the fence. The police duly and non-violently arrest these people and take them to jail, where they are arraigned and (usually) released on their own recognizance.The DC police do this for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that the First Amendment to the US Constitution guarantees the right to protest:Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.So long as the protest is peaceable, it is protected under our Constitution.The point of a protest is to inconvenience people so they pay attention to the reason for protesting. Therefore, some protests involve blocking freeways or onramps. Here again, the police may decide to block off the onramps and freeways if they receive advance notice of the route.The way protesters are treated by police will vary depending on the town, the purpose of the protest, and the racial makeup of the demonstrators. In places where the police believe they have the right to punish protesters, as recently in Ferguson, they will use various weapons to do so, leaving the courts to decide the legality of their actions.In all cases, however, the Constitution guarantees to all of us the right to protest nonviolently.
Why don't the Vietnamese rise up and overthrow the communist Vietnamese dictatorship like Romania did?
Because they are reallistic people. They don’t need to follow what some anti-communist guys living on another side of this Earth tell them to do. Who is building the country directly day-by-day? Who understand its own problems more? First, you work, you have voice, and vice versa. It’s a universal law. Second, do the people who fled away decades ago and never come back really know how the daily life here in Vietnam is, or they just hear Western propaganda? Third, if you want someone accept your lead, at least show them your capabilities. Anti-communist protesters scream “Long live Vietnamese communists” or proud of “ARVN’s Nhat Tao warship” run by men walking on the street or divide into several groups which against each other SO MUCH while talking about how to overthrow the current regime? No thanks but the majority of Vietnamese population see them as “loud, old men” or “too separable to become an united opposite front”. Do you believe those men can lead Vietnam to be “more prosperous than South Korea” without licking foreign boots or “use the military as a political tool to do coups” like what happened with South Vietnam before? Without American standing right on their soil, they collapsed quickly in front of us and the process just lasted two years. The reality answers everything. Finally, if the current system is doing fine, just keep it there. Every system has its pros and cons, after all. Nothing is perfect, because regimes based on humans, and humans are not perfect themselves. But those anti-communists ask for no corrupt, no descendants-to-be-put-into-titles, no rich bureaucrats, all must be 100 percent, which are extremist and utopianist, means impossible, especially when you discover further into Vietnamese social structures, inofficial laws of traditions and culture, size of the economy and the current level of development in a relationship with a long-war-time history, geography (small landmass plus destructive natural disasters),… They force their sense of freedom on us without knowing about basic things like I described. In fact, they just see American model work in American society, but the reality showed us that this doesn’t run anywhere in this world. When you are not so sure about what a new regime can bring, there is a highly chance that it will be far worse than which you have today.
