Salaam,

I hope you guys living in the west know how good you've got it. you don't have to look over your shoulder whenever you say something mildly political. you can publish what you want, read what you want, speak what you want without the fear of being draged out of your bed at night, taken to jail for a couple of weeks all the while being beaten and basicaly being treated like an animal. you don't have to deal with the constant propaganda, day in and day out, on the TV, in news papers and on signs in the street, telling you how great the people in charge are. when in truth, you know that they're compleat incompitants who only care about power and the size of their wallets.

you know what makes this so sad. I bet you guys can't guess where I'm from. I mean it should be narrowed down enough. I'm moslim. I'm arabic.
can you guess?

thats how bad it is.

Assalamoalykum,

Let me guess, let me narrow it down to a few Arab countries.

Egypt?
Israel/Palestine?
Jordan?
Saudi Arabia?
Turkey?
Kuwait?

Assalam-u-Alaikum,

 It could be Iran, as they closed down a bunch of newspapers some time ago for criticizing the government.  Or Iraq.

Assalamu alaikum,

I think the point is clear!  The fact that we cannot narrow jade's origin down to a couple of countries goes on to show how pathetic the situation of the Ummah is!  If the condition was bad in just one or two places, we'd easily guess where she was from.  But this is not the case.

Assalamoalykum,

Yeah, Saudi was what I was thinking but..... then the situation that he described is prevalent in all the countries in the Arab world.
