Can a culture of respect be introduced?

This question could be suggested that if there has been a similar issue about some other major religions like Jewry or Christianity or Buddhism, would these justifications about "freedom of expression" work as much as now?!
I think what European Muslims want is the very rights that other Europeans already have, just like Christians, Jews, and non-believers. It seems that European Muslims are addressed by their governors as “Europeans”, just when they rely on those Muslims support!
Europe could make this image correct this time, if its governors want the Individual Rights to be respected in a real manner.

Do you welcome deal on EU Treaty?

The more powerful EU means the better world for me! A mono-polar world like which we are living in now, means the exact catastrophe which we are experiencing these days. Tough-minded international leaders - who empower each other by their ideas and decisions - would not take the opportunity to fool their nations and climb the elevator of democracy, anymore! It's obvious that a poly-polar world - which EU could help to give birth - would be a better pace to live in!

"God's Warriors", the Jews

Tonight I watched Christiane Amanpour’s “God’s Warriors” first part which has been made about Jewish fundamentalist people and organizations. I think that was excellent and a little late!

As an Iranian student in Sociology and a freelance journalist, I should deeply thank Christiane because of her brilliant work with which I saw new horizons in my studies and in my interest. I got exited by watching the scenes she got portrayed and the quotes she made documented. If we agree that there would not be any story or documentary which would be really objective and wholly true, her Jewish “God’s Warriors” would be one of the best documentaries which have got close to be objective and true, ever I saw.

The documentary has truly represented the real nature of fundamentalism which leads to terror; the nature which is multi-religious rather than being Muslims', Jews' or Christians'. I believe that she have truly managed to show the obscure line between being faithful to a religion and being so fundamentalist to let call yourself a terrorist so easily that those people in her documentary could.

Terrorism which originate from religious fundamentalism in some part, is the final synthesis of lots of trends; the point which lots of people – even decisive ones – could not realize. Such works like hers would be watched globally and I believe she would take part in shaping the future world by doing such documentations.

Although her documentary was almost the first one in its field with such an in-depth view, I can tell that it's quite late for such a documentary. Maybe there are some concerns and observations which she have to take care and might step slowly forward because of them, but I’m sure she would do agree with me that sometimes it would be too late to talk and make documentations about a trend. They do not wait for us to pull together and make such brilliant works like she did. But I insist she were the first and that’s what she’s been called as Christiane Amanpour!

Considering the sharpness and the objectivity of the first part of “God’s Warriors”, I would follow the other two parts. My image of her has aways been a Zionism-friend! Although I still could hardly imagine her as a Muslim-friend journalist yet, but what she have done in the Jewish part of the documentary made me to reduce her position in my mind to an Israel-friend and may be truly a Zionism-foe.

Christiane and journalists alike her, are teaching me great by their lessons as I am virtually in a distance-class. I hope to be such a journalist; even with more objectivity, curiosity, and intelligence.

P.S.:
Christiane Amanpour responded to me:
"Many thanks for your comments and I am so pleased you enjoyed the report. CNN won the ratings and we are pleased that the message seems to be: serious news wins!"

Best wishes,
Christiane"

P.P.S.:
The Other two parts on Muslim God Warriors and Christians, were as shocking and brilliant as the first part.
Don't miss them!

Hurricane Dean: Are you affected?

Although I do not have any relative or friend in the zone of Dean nor I have been there to have a nostalgia in the place, I feel pity for people who loose their life and should start from the beginning. That would feel deep bad! I think the question which is forgotten to be asked here, is how human could stop such casualties?!

Would Gul make a good Turkish president?

It’s now the time in which western states and also Turkish army should accept the modern face of a Muslim politician; who do believe and practice in Islam but is not against the modern values like equality, secularity and globalization. Gul could be a proper and practical figure who'd be a good example for other Muslim politicians in future. So Europe should not only be against him, but also help him in his inspiring way. Muslim world lacks such figures, not all of those rhetoric words!

Muhammad Cartoons

Apart from all of these controversies have been made about those cartoons, this question could be suggested that if there has been a similar issue about some other major religions like Jewry or Christianity or Buddhism, would these justifications about "freedom of expression" work as much as now?! It could be surveyed that have such a cartoon been published about Jesus, Muses or Jhvh or even the Pope?
I think what European Muslims want is the very rights that other Europeans already have, just like Christians, Jews, and non-believers. It seems that European Muslims are addressed by their governors as “Europeans”, just when they rely on those Muslims support!
