Well, that's having an open mind... Jus watch the documentary and make up your own mind.

Ok then Ketsup then perhaps there was some misunderstanding on my part then, if you may, forgive me. But to say multiculturalism isn't working is an entirely different issue then and totally off topic, however just briefly commenting on it I have to say that, that is a diferent view to have. Obviously you are a Brit, me I'm an America and multiculturalism is working fine in California. Our state alone has more diverse group of people than any country and U.S state.

Of course we have our differences but the same can be sai about putting different species of animals together. The important is the acclimation of those in our society who are our foeign to our culture. You have to be patient. Regarding the issue of cartoons I'm curious to how the subject was deterred and came to multiculturalism.

If you want an accurate picture of Al Jazeera, rent the documentarty "Control Room". It might open your eyes a bit.... In fact, the press liason for the U.S. military who is featured in Control Room has since gotten out of the military and will be working as a correspondent for Al Jazeera America on satellite.

 

I'll have to check that out some time!!! Ok well I didn't want to be part of any flaming and such and I have a feeling that this can go downhill if I keep asking questions so I'm done for now. :) Have a great day!!!

As an example of news WE"LL never see, on Al Alum News today they were showing large peaceful demonstrations in Basra, Iraq against the British occupation forces who arrested a group of men and beat and killed a number of them. They were being filmed, without their knowledge.

Here is a perfect example of a peaceful demonstration against human rights abuses by the British that is getting no airplay here. But, if the Iraqi's were raging through the streets torching cars and beating and killing the British troops that's all we'd be seeing.

On saturday, Feb 11, 2006, there was a peaceful demonstration in Toronto against "offensive cartoons", and it didn't become a headline news. Media only wants to see violent protests, and not the peaceful ones.
