No not really, i at least understand your point of view and my point of view, i understand how your culture/traditions work, i have a lot of western friends, and on the other side i know how ours work because i lived in the middle east, so i know how to balance it out. But you on the other hand you just base your information off the media, if you actulley want to learn then go to the middle east/africa to gain experience from every aspect of their lives.

Well next time go ask them what the Christian missionaries do to the Muslims in Africa. A lot of missionaries in Africa differentiate between the Muslim and Christian, sometime they give Muslims to choices to convert or to die from hunger, they focus on Christians most of the time, thats why you have Christianity growing in number because sometimes they give a Muslim any help until he/she converts,

Please stop bull****ting, half of Africa is Christian, because a lot of genocides were committed by Christians against their fellow Christians, don't tell me 99% because thats impossible.

Whats happening is Sudan is racism, the government oppresses these people because of their darker skin color.

Yeah, they were the ones reporting that the US and Israel caused the Indonesian Tsunami with submarines to kill muslims.....a remarkable piece of investigative journalism that took less than 3 hours from incident to publication.

I don't doubt they present things from another angle but to claim they are unbiased and accurate?

Link some examples.
I'd especially like to see some articles where Israel wasn't at fault.

Nigeria will always have those problems, thanks to the arbitrary borders drawn by the colonial powers, forcing incompatible peoples and cultures into one country.

I guess nobody knows who started that cycle of violence, just like in India between Hindus and Muslims, those exchanges of violence date back decades or even centuries.

I disagree. History shows the muslims started the violence. Islam began and only spread as a result of violence (wars, restrictions placed on non-muslims after conquest, etc.).

At this point I don't think it will end.

Wherever Muslims are in abundance, there is bloodshed. If they can't kill Christians, Jews, Buddhists or Hindus, they turn on themselves. The reason is that it is a false religion. I know some very decent non-fanatical Muslims, who were born into the faith, but just don't know the facts about their own religion.
