Secretary of State Colin L. Powell yesterday questioned the silence of Arab leaders over the beheading of U.S. civilian Nicholas Berg by al Qaeda terrorists.

We have been brought up with the concept, that you should never make any negative comments about any arab muslims. They back this by a saying the stage a Arab Muslim might reach by descending, an non arab couldnt reach that stage by elevating (regarding deeni matters).ANSWER:7100 2002-11-19
Yes, it is true that you should not despise the Arabs nor talk ill of them. Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) was an Arab. It appears in a Hadith that Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, Love the Arabs for three reasons; I am an Arab, the Quraan is in Arabic, and the language of the people of Jannah is Arabic. (Mishkaat vol.2 pg.553)

Not.
The only way this jihad crap will stop is if enough damage is done so that Arab leaders demand tolerance not hate is taught at the madrasas for their own well being.
The road to hell is marked with international road signs on how to be "liked" and considered "progressive".
absolutely.
