The West and the Arab world have been in conflict for the last 1,300 years, with the Arab world being dominant for much of that time.
The current wave of conflict is merely another chapter in a very long book.
It is a mistake to assume that if the West leaves the Arab world alone that it will leave the West alone. The Arab world has its own agenda.

The subject is the American mainstream media claiming the Arabs hate the west because of their freedoms and way of life.
They completely ignore the regime changes, funding of dictators, killing of civilians that have been consistent since the end of world war two.
By and large the Arab states are awash with print and electronic media. Most of these media, however, are state-controlled, semi-official organs, or owned by oil rich Arabs.
All these media are largely biased. They misrepresent Western views, and critical, differentiated reporting is almost absent. Israel is depicted as the “aggressor” and the West as its backer.
There are innumerable examples of Arab biased reporting.
A quick look at Arab reporting and op-ed yield a full barrel. More than 7,000 rockets and mortars deliberately aimed at Israeli civilian targets since Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip in 2005 are largely ignored by the Arab media.
They day in day out compare Gaza to a “concentration camp” and the Israeli offensive to a “real Holocaust.”
Suicide bombers and Palestinian militants killed by the Israelis are called “martyrs” Critical Internet websites are blocked.
When we are defeated, like in 1967 and 1973 we call it Nakba and Naksa (calamity, setback).
We stand up again and shout, “We lost a battle, but not the war.”
And eventually we blame our helplessness on the West and claim, “They hate us. They don’t want to see us developed. They want to exploit our oil.”

The thread is about how the American media lies to it's people and expects them to believe the reason Arbabs hate us is because of our freedoms and way of life. They portray their religion as evil.
The American MSM ignores the real reasons why the muslim world is turning on us.
I thought the video was quite clear and the points it makes cannot be ignored, for they are fact.

so...iran wouldn't mind having hundreds of thousands of white christians immigrating to their country, setting up neighborhoods, wearing what they want out in public, teaching democracy in their own schools, building christian churches, starting up their own businesses, protesting against the government in public marches. asking the government for loans, and representation in their government?

We've come a long way from Walter Cronkite being the most trusted man in America. I would not have believed I would be getting my news from a source called Russian Times. The sad fact is that I only trust news from RT and Al Jazeera to give me an honest slant on the news in my own country. Our system is so screwed up they don't think we know that they (MSM) are telling us lies.
