Fuzzy Logic

So I was going through blogs today, and I came across one which was quite interesting. I agreed with what this person had the say about the current American president at first, and really like how they had their facts right. Call me biased, but maybe it's because most of the Americans I've met all my life, are perhaps kind of egocentric and never really have their facts right, but tend to go on about how great they are and how great the US is. (Ofcourse, no citizens criticize their own countries...with the exception of the Pakistanis ofcourse, who only seem to remember their love for Pakistna on 14th of August). I've yet to see an American criticize America, even the ones who are originally Pakistanis, they somehow find justifications for everything the their country does.

But that's all okay. Biasness is understandable. Specially when your country is a super power and has tonnes of nuclear weapons. But one thing I canNOT understand is how you can criticize something that you just "heard" of. And sometimes, all I've seen these people do is just be told by some people what something is, and without any proper research, believe i so firmly that they won't even take any criticism against it. Getting back to this American blogger however, in one of her posts 'What's this about the flag of Islam flying over the White House?' She talks about how there's apparantly someone who announces that the Islamic flag will be one day over the White House and muslims are willing to evne use violence as a means. She/He goes on to criticize some of the facts/censuses and says that it is a lie what the census say that Muslims are anti-suicide bombings, infact, many Muslims living in the USA actually support such bombings if it is for the sake of their religion.

And all i could say to that was "=|". I mean..seriously? If she says that those facts in the censuses aren't true according to some other censuses, then how can a person know the authencity of the facts that she is stating? The sad thing is, the guy declared it and there is undeniably a movie of it. But what i'm afraid these Americans are too ignorant to see is that the RELIGION does not support bombings.

Ofcourse, I have noone but ourselves to blame. We are causing this, declaring this, though it is true that the American media tends to highlight thse bad things so much more boldly than the Muslims who practice Islam right. I've lived in the west for half of my life before moving back to Pakistan, and I've never seen a news report on how Islam talks about peace or how Muslims do good deed and are anti-war. So, you can't really blame these people, or even us, for thinking that it isnt something that exists in this world- the right kind of Muslims that is. They are undoubtedly here. But ofcourse, if the media has been showing us as the bad guys for the past decade, can't really change it's views suddenly.
