"It just seems that those who are most critical of and most aggressive
towards
the "decaying west" appear to be, at the end of the day, the most
desperate for
its approval, at least subconsciously," comments Yazan from Syria on
statements
made by politicians on safeguarding the Muslim culture from Western influences.

Sugar, from Syria, links to a video featuring footage made by US soldiers in
Iraq and comments: "Well, it’s not like it’s the first time we hear or see
such videos about those American soldiers who they say are liberating Iraq and
protecting America from terrorists. Instead, all what they did, is
humiliating the Iraq
people and especially little innocent children. I am
really speechless."
