    RE: [RC] He/Him Bigotry? - Alison Farrin


    But again, that perception that "the Arab world views us with increasing
    disdain and hatred" is a very unbalanced, media influenced report on the
    radical fringe groups that clamor to be heard.  Its not the guy on the
    street in Egypt, Iran, Pakistan, the UAE, most of whom recognize that
    Americans have provided them with Vaccines and food and technology and
    generally made their lives better.   Remember that everything you see in
    the media is somebody's agenda.

    Not bigotry - reality.  Poll after poll shows that the Arab world views
    us 
    with increasing disdain and hatred.  To lose respect for nations and 
    nationals who are of this ideology is not, IMHO bigotry, but a dose of 
    healthy reality.  Was it bigotry to think ill of the Germans under
    Hitler or 
    the Russians under Stalin?  Methinks we take PC too far these days.
