The problem is, that no agreement with muslims were never wanted. American government has brought the anti-muslim propaganda with the 911 attacks as a part of the new methods of control.
It is important to have badly educated people, as one is not having information about other cultures, nations, religions, it is easily planted on one by media when needed for propaganda purposes.
Here the purpose of anti-muslim propaganda is clear:
To invade Afganistan and Iraq.
It would have been impossible to gain support for those invasions if they were based on facts. But in Information Age, the critical point is information and it's channels. For usual people these are the mainstream media.
It has been well observed in Pentagon and around the world that one should gain control from it.
Getting into the point, western media is deliberately used for spreading hate against muslims and islam.
I had the pleasure of watching cnn at work last night and boy howdy are the neocons setting the stage to attack iran, funny how one little country can dictate the actions of a bigger country and kill our people for their survival.
Your points on propaganda are good ones. You sound a little paranoid though. I know this sounds crazy but can anythings face value actually be the truth? Why does everything have to have a deeper sinister plot? Educate me Blown. Since the IRA (I'm Irish and I think those guys were f'ed.) stopped blowing up women and children that business has completely been taken over by radical Islamists. Why is everything the U.S. (that spells US) does bad or evil? I'm being sincere. Where are you coming from?
