I read the post and in no way does it appear to me that by posting it "scrimetime" is "dumping on America"?? If there is a concerted, well funded effort to intentionally fan the flames of the Muslim as "the other", I think it is a natural question to ask who the benefactor of such a movement is. You are correct in stating (imo) that "this is one of the greatest nations of all time" but it stays that way because people ask questions like, "who funds muslim baiting in America".
As you stated, it is also important to know who funds Al-Jazeera... as well as FOX, CNN and the other big pushers of popular sentiment. Not sure what your lack of getting punched by a football player in 1980 has to do with an article about the funding of fear? I can tell you that in 2002 I was in line at a restaurant and some guy nudged passed me and said, "out of my way Mohammed". -I got pissed, really pissed and pushed back past him and said, "my name is Steve asshole". (I'm half mexican and people always think I'm arabic)
Is it a great country? Yes. Let's keep it that way. Fuck Al Jazeera? Okay, but fuck the people that propogate open racism and ethnocentrism too! FUCK THEM!
