Khaled, Beautifully written. I hope those whose minds are open see what you have framed in this paragraph. Others, who have chosen to dwell in static quality with the statement of "the Great Satan" as a characterization of people they've never met, will likely make no attempt to see the light in your words.
It seems to me that the only authentic meeting of quality between people is one-to-one and not "en mass." Unless I am mistaken, we have never "met," so please excuse my presumptuousness in commenting on your words. thanks--mel ----- Original Message ----- From: "Khaled Alkotob" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, November 06, 2008 5:03 PM Subject: Re: [MD] Congratulations America! Arlo, Gav, David and others This came to me last night, and I thought I would share it, feeling apppropriate for the ongoing banter =============== It's November 2008. A young Pakistani Muslim is watching television and sees that this man-Barack Hussein Obama-is the new face of America. In one simple image, America's soft power has been ratcheted up not a notch, but a logarithm. A brown-skinned man whose father was an African, who grew up in Indonesia and Hawaii, who attended a majority-Muslim school as a boy, is now the alleged enemy. If you wanted the crudest but most effective weapon against the demonization of America that fuels Islamist ideology, Obama's face gets close. It proves them wrong about what America is in ways no words can. =============== Khaled ____________________________________________________________ Click here to find the satellite television package that meets your needs. http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL2141/fc/Ioyw6i3mzvzVqI2VxMizbW00BjhiFBWM NJ72uXPS1jUCx3cLcNsqC4/ Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/ Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
