A substantial majority of Palestinians (84%) and Egyptians (80%) believed westerners to be lacking in respect for the Muslim world. In Turkey (68%), Saudi Arabia (67%) and Iran (62%) opinions were almost as strong.
Such views were mirrored in the west. Some 82% of the US population believed the Muslim world not to respect the west. In Israel 73% shared that view, according to the survey. The figure in Denmark was 69%, in Italy 70%, in Canada 67% and in Holland 55%.
I popped in for a quick suicide video this morning. This one had an interviewer asking questions for a change. The questions seemed to be concerned with peoples perceptions- particularly to do with accusations which might follow about attacking innocent people and brainwashing.
The interviewee said that people had been warned time and time again to stay away from military, government and economic targets and who is innocent anyway? Taxpayers money goes to fund war against Muslims. He also said that it was only Allah who had washed his brain.
It was filmed in front of the black flag of Islam and had the tell tale finger wagging. One of these guys is going to get off one day for not wagging their finger.
The jury'll say "He didn't wag his finger- he can't be one of them."
When people start wagging their finger you know explosives are likely to be somewhere in the vicinity eh though this video is missing the music which goes along with Iraqi versions of the same stuff.
Another thing- I have been saying time and time again that this "brainwashing" thing is a red herring. No one listens to me.
I couldn't stay long. On the train platform coming back I overheard an argument between a lesbian couple. A tough looking black girl was telling her daintier partner that she was too materialistic. Her partner countered that she always surrounded herself with "fit girls".
"But fit girls don't cost me money!" said the black girl.
