From Syria to America: With Love04/24/2004 Not everyone in the Arab Middle East hates America.
As Lee Smith notes in Slate, Egyptian President Hosni Mubaraq has claimed that anti-American sentiment in the Middle East has reached new heights. However, not everyone in the Arab world hates the US. Lee writes:
One letter from one brave person represents thousands of voices. Are they a majority? I don't know. But surely, Americans, they deserve your attention, if only to enrich your understanding of what the Middle East is all about. Not everything here is as represented on Al-Jazeera and in the Friday sermons on state-run television stations, and not everyone has those views. Ami Isseroff

Replies: 8 comments Thank you for that comment!! It makes everything worthwhile. Posted by Karen from California, USA @ 04/28/2004 07:16 PM CST A nice comment indeed, I don't know if I'd say this is how all Arabs feel - I have a very close friend in Iraq right now, and he says it's pretty terrible feeling. I do, however, have to thank this man for his outreach and publicly going against what I'm sure many Arabs in his home country think - I'm only 19, my friend in Iraq is 20 - and I can't help but think how scary this world is. Good will prevail - it always will - I just pray for those that find themselves on the front line - civilian and military, that some sort of peace can be made. Also, I hope this man knows, not all Americans hate Arabs - I don't even think it's a question of hate, it's more that the media distorts so much of what is true, that it puts so many negative feelings in the public's mind. Thank you for this informing website - anyone can say they offer balanced news, but this is truly un-biased, and a great read. God bless. Posted by Max @ 05/05/2004 03:06 AM CST
