Muslims vs. Americans (Week 15)

Muslims in the Middle Eastern countries are being misinformed. The Middle Eastern media is feeding them blatant lies about America and what our country stands for. They claim that American product names mean things that degrade the Muslim people. Also, leaders of these nations are feeding their people wrong and violent messages about America's intentions with the Muslims. They are also teaching their kids at a young age to despise the American people.

I think this is absolutely awful. How can a people be so brainwashed? However, I think it is important to understand that this is not the stance of all Muslims. Not all Muslims are bad people who share these same skewed ideologies. It is important that we as Americans teach our children this. Also, it is important to keep them accepting and understanding of all cultures and backgrounds.
