nope, he cleearly has a problem with arab press

Yes, I think they are behind much of the hate in the middle east. I was visiting one of my arab friends, and he showed me some of the things being said in the arab world.... many of them do propaganda press with ½ truth and ½ lies, so it seams real to those who read it. Also when they do TV shows, then they use much of their time showing pictures of dead children etc. while explain that ex . "today US gav control of the economy to Iraqis"... positive messages are drowning in bad pictures.
I can understand how a person with little or no education will get angry, if feed stories/pictures/tv shows as those daily. Also alot of everyday talk is filled with racisme - like describing jews the same way nazis did.... it makes it ok to hate.

Sure we in the west also have misunderstandings about arabs, but we do not have a one sided press trying to withhold information from us or using intens propaganda, so we will hate.
