East vs. West

Just wondering why do we always find some people who trying to keep the culture clash going between the East and the West going on all the time? What’s the point?? who is benefiting out of this ? and when are we going to see some rational?

On this fine soothing note, it is time to retire the day, and call it a night (and a half..:::)) hello! it's 01:00 am!

Tomorrow my boss will launch war against me for my sleepy eyes any yawning! But hey, I’ll give her a rose in return.

Very peaceful girl I am..:))

Oh God I love this song...it so touchy, but it seems like some people on there side doesn't want to stop

if we gonna live together we need to stop blamming each other, and sort things out...other wise we will all lose

Exert your talents, and distinguish yourself, and don't think of retiring from the world, until the world will be sorry that you retire. - Samuel Johnson

Have a nice time all the time !

No grudge or hard feeling..:)) I believe you intended well. This is why traveling, reading, listening and interacting with other really broadens ones mind.

I like your message above...:))

Make sure to tune into CNN, BBC and Al Jazeera. 3D news exposure is fair enough to hear all sides of the story.

Then after a few years, you discover the three of them were paid under the table to tell the story as you watched them!!

The only truth is ONE (song) by U2, specially this part:

"You say love is a temple, love a higher law,

You ask me to enter, but then you make me crawl,

and I can't be holdin' on to what you go-ot when all you got is hurt.

One love, one blood, one life you got to do what you should.

One life with each other, sisters, brothers.

One life, but we're not the same,we get to

carry each other, carry each other, one, one"

Ya Allah!!

Salam

We still need to continue to talk (with patience), hopefully with little bit of action.

Sometimes the bulb lights and the more one reads and listens to others, the more understanding you get. We must intend to listen seriously and deeply analyze what’s being said by other parties, that if we insist, one day, to bridge the gap.

Alexa, I read something you wrote somewhere here on QL, you said what means ( I remember Arabs and Muslims because they are forced on the west through immigrants and refugees). I really cannot exactly recall your actual words, please forgive me for that.

Such statement, although I quiet understand your motive and why you said it, I picture myself in your position, and in partial agreement with you about this image about them. Despite of my comprehension of your viewpoint, it still hurts like a knife! because those people you described are no parasites. (I wont start here, because this will turn into another heated discussion. I am in agreement with myself that Arabs, Muslims and the so-called poor countries need to get up on their feet and stop the traditional thinking of Conspiracy Against Us”. This kind of acceptance of defeat and laziness addiction will make no nation rise above hardships.

I’m not giving up on the utopia (harmonious co-existence) even at the smallest level and scale one can imagine.

It is very easy to light a match and start a war. But decades after decades after decades, is how long it will take just to put it on and its’ impact off!

I don't think were are really that different

if we are talking about Religion ..they are coming from the same source,

Culture may be different but this shouldn't be a problem, cause culture copy some how from each other

Have a nice time all the time !

Why it is easy to start a clash?

It is quite simple.

Because the difference in culture is there and basically

each does not like the other come in to their backyard.

Every one agrees and accepts the difference as long as it is not

intruding into their daily life and as long as it does not enter in to their home and country. If it happens then they fight it, either openly or in stealth mode.

Ofcourse, people do change for the better..But very slowly.

Such dialogue is never expected to halt. It is a natural forum for discovery, exploration, self expression and establishment and survival.

I am note specially talking about Ql forum. I am describing worldwide interaction.

Conferences, seminars, summits on, to name but a few”

-Multi-cultural Co-existence/Encounters/Clashes,

-Inter-cultural Relations,

-Culture and Religion,

-Multi-ethnic Population,

-Inter-Faith forums,

-Clash of Civilizations,

-Poor vs. Rich

-Islam and the West,

-East vs. West,

-Inter-racial issues….and zillion more to list, will never come to and end.

The appalling fact about some of these fake interactions is that they are convened in the background, hand in hand with dirty wars being lunched against(mosly)the innocent, leaving a heritage of refugees, immigrants, poor, homeless, and stranded beings, for whom another DIALOGUE will be peacefully established in an air conditioned well- seated auditorium at hotel with a view…..

Opps.. refreshments and lunch served. Sightseeing tour is arranged too, but there are a couple of stops before visiting the refugee camp...if you know what I mean!

Quite sad and revolting? no pessimism intended, just flipping one page of man's history.

Salam
