Why does the new Middle East Issues Forum have an image of a terrorist on it?

A better question would be why do you automatically consider a middle easterner in traditional dress with a gun a terrorist but an american in traditional dress with a gun is a soldier...?

Lol well anti-islamic means against that particular religion. Anti-american is against a particular country. Two different things.

Anti-islamic is actually against a faith/religion.
There is no region called Islam.

Although two different things, you were completely wrong in your region statement.
Not trying to be funny... just saying

Isn't that what I said? Where did I make the claim that Islam is a region lol..?

It's me being stupid, not reading the post closely and it being 1:14am.

I apologize... i thought you said region not religion.

my mistake and again.. i apologize.

too many anti-this anti-that threads... i need sleep

Maybe we could suggest some images that would be more accurate and/or appropriate (noting the hypocrisy in the violating ATS avatar policy)?

If we could find a similar graphic with arabic writing that said "war is peace"?

No problemo. I figured that's what you meant..



but i think i have done similar when tired/posting late at night...

The ATS staff and owners appreciate all feedback be it criticism or praise. Obviously in this case it's criticism so I would like to direct you to the The ATS Issues Thread where all these concerns should be expressed. I will be closing this thread and look forward to you making your viewpoint known in the proper thread listed above.

Thank you so much for your understanding.

Regards,
The ATS Staff
