This video makes me feel like crap about the future.  Not only did the makers of the video not know how to record in stereo, it made me wonder if anything positive is happening in Iraq and Afghanistan.

In the video, one guy said that he does not view Americans as human and will never respect us.  This is all the fault of the Americans, we are the ones to blame.  I really wish the military would get their act together.  It is a shame that people feel like this because of the American Military.  The opinion of these people will only spread over time.  They will tell their friends and family who will then spread it on to other generations.  Eventually, lots of people will feel that Americans are not friends of Islam.  I, for one, am definitely a friend of Islam.  

In this day and age people should be tolerant of other religions and viewpoints.  Although I was brought up Roman Catholic, their beliefs have not stayed with me over time.  One thing I never liked about Christianity is that it is a universalizing religion.  This means that followers try to convert people to Christianity because it is the only way to get to heaven.  I never have and never will respect anybody who tries to force their religion upon anybody else.  It actually makes me feel offended.  I believe that tolerance is the key.  One should respect the beliefs of others, just like you would want others to respect your beliefs.  As much as I disagree with those religious nuts that spew bible versus in Woodruff Park I never stop to argue or tell them they are wrong.

Relating that to the video, I have nothing against Islam personally and I don't think it is right for them to attack us for our beliefs.  They should practice some religious tolerance and keep their beliefs to themselves.

And the future right now looks like a steaming pile of doodoo.  Not to be too optimistic.
