[QUOTE]Originally posted by sheba76: [QB] [QUOTE] Even those who were of some "noble" origin they were cruel enough to enslave the Africans and treat them as animals with lower rank of rights [/QUOTE]How can Arabs say Americans are bad for having slaves? When Arabs had slaves too. That's all. Simple comment. I think a lot of Arabs just don't realize how much alike people all over the world really are. We all have our differences sure, but it seems that the basics are pretty much the same. Don't we all love, laugh, and cry the same? Don't mother's and father's everywhere love and protect their children with the same feelings? Different approaches maybe, but the basics are the same. Just a generalization. When I lived in Egypt, everyone commented on how I was more Egyptian than American. I just didn't act like an American. But I was normal. I think they just don't see the blending of cultures that we (Americans)do. It is a part of our every day lives. It is not for a lot of Arabs. So where do they get their ideas from? Lots of places; media, books, etc.. Most of them are not exposed to normal American behaviour. So they seem surprised when they realize that Americans are much like themselves. JMHO [/QB][/QUOTE]
