i am not speaking to this forum for behalf of islam, i am speaking for behalf of myself. when i visit america in 2005 to universal studios, everyone insult me, they make fun of me, they call me terrorist, they give me bad name
I didn't read that he thought his government was superior then ours, but maybe that is just my interpretation.
look I'm not saying that things are perfect in the ME, or Iran..anywhere really. What I am saying is that, universally, people just want to be happy and live a life filled with good things. The bad people, in any country are not the majority.
Furthermore, as we are witnessing first hand, the people in a lot of these countries are getting sick and tried of their religion, their culture being hijacked by the elites in their countries for what are selfish, and downright evil gains.
This isn't about how Islam is bad, every religion is based on fear and hate and obeying some higher power in order to make it to some mythical promised land. I can sit here all day and link examples of many different religions in many different countries doing bad stuff, and then, using their various holy books to justify it.
Iran is a beautiful country, sadly ruled by greedy men. Kind of like America and the UK.

It's incredible but it seems most people still do not see themselves when they look at another person. I like the Maya greeting, "In La-kesh" which translates you are another me. Just imagine if the Palestinian picking up a stone looked at a Jewish soldier and saw himself and visa-versa. Of course there are many more examples. Welcome to ATS
Mayan Human Sacrifices
The Mayans believed that the giving of blood to the Gods, especially the rain god Chac, would make these deities look upon society with favor. As a result, the practice of ripping the hearts out of human beings for sacrifice to the gods was a common activity in Mayan Civilization. The Spanish conquistadors, no strangers to brutality themselves, looked upon this practice with horror, when they arrived in the New World in the early sixteenth century.

To the OP, unfortunately I don't think you are Hussein from Iran but that's my opinion however trying to create a sympathy piece I can see where you are coming form.
So these "other" countries, they don't look at America "jealous of the USA's freedom" - they look at countries like America with pity...I know I do.
