Heehee. You're kidding Ruby, right? She's kidding right? WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE CONFIRM THAT SHE'S KIDDING!?
Not about my country you weren't ;) We can ask Anna next time she has time. She lives in the other end of the country. But no worries, she'll agree with me :)

Who's Anna? o.O Sorry, I'm very forgetful.And I was talking about the whole world... not nly yours :P
Yeah and I admit that it's a crazy place down there. It's so risky to step outside of your house, I swear. Thank God my family lives in the safer side of Karachi.
Oh thank God Ruby. I was about to strabgle you for a minute there.And Anna is the other Dane in opinions group :) But she's rarely online :(
Amina, when you say the whole world, are you talking about countries that does not have a majority of muslims, or are you actually talking about the whole world? I still stand by what I said: Don't generalize. "The whole world" is a pretty big statement. The worls has many different aspects and people. As I believe I've mentioned: Denmark isn't the same as America. It's not even the same as Spain or even Germany (look at a European map please, to see where we are compared to these countries).
I dunno what I think when I think Pakistan. Muslims probably, and dark hair. The floods. That's about it.
Pakistan is a good country but just becuz of some certain ppl doing wrong doesn't make it the whole country. Depends on how you look at it and you shouldn't believe everything you hear you should find evidence yourself so it's your basic opinion not what you've heard from others. Or what you have been thaught for tht matter.
Yes there's a lot of pollution. I went last month to Karachi to visit my family and we were just driving around and I was just disgusted. And some people yes. They just love to get involved in some things and just make it worse. Like just recently the firing in Karachi in November... It broke everyones windows.And when Benazir Bhutto was killed/died some certain people or groups just went crazy.
I honestly don't' really think about Pakistan that much. I guess it's probably dry... and hot. There are lots of Muslims, which is cool and yeah... I don't know. I don't really know much about Pakistan.
Yeah you probably don't.. Hmm.. What places have you people been to? Countries I mean.Oh trust me it's barely ever dry. Well where I lived. It's humid hume and humid. Only in the enter it's OK
@ Juliet: 0.0 You've been to every country in Europe? :oI've been to America: Illinois (twice), Missouri and California. And I sailed past Kentucky, but I wasn't actually there.
I've been to Asia: Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia.
I've been to Europe (duh): Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Germany, Spain, France, England, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Netherland. Uhm.. I've been to some other countries too, but I forget.
Awesomee:)I've been to.... Canada, Libya, Pakistan, Jordan. England, America, Saudi Arabia, Netherlands, UAE, uhh I think that's about it :O

See Emma?
And my the whole world I mean a majority of place, a majority of people or whatever. I'm not trying to pinoint denmark... I donno about it much. Of course, some things have happened in the past which make me feel that there are muslim-haters in ur country too. And you agreed to that, anyway.
See Emma?- Not really, no. You have now prooved that some americans or whatever holds something against Pakistan. So what? I never said that it wasn't like that other places. I don't know, I don't live there. I always only defended my own country, 'cause that's the place I know.

- Yes, I agreed that there're a minority of people in my country who dislike people who are not from Denmark. That's called racism. It's not just muslims, it's everyone who's not from "around". It's still a minority. And yes, I've also agreed that there's a minority who dosen't like muslims. A very small minority. I've never met one. I've asked around, noone I know has met one either (in Denmark that is).
So you can make "See? I WAS RIGHT!" comments all you want, but you can't be right about something the two of us haven't discussed.
You should :) Though, and no offense, I prefer Spain :) It's so cultural and pretty. And the language is sooo sexy, as are the boys ;)
Why did they go there? They should have known something like that was to happen. They probably thought they were some .. Idk!
I've met a lot of people who hate muslims...I've been to saudi arabia, pakistan and england. gah. that's too less. but I don't like travelling :/
I love to travel but I haven't been to that many places... just a few different states around the one I live in and Canada a bunch :)But after I graduate, a couple of my guy friends, my two best girl friends, and I are planning a trip to Europe!
Haha sure, why not! I'm so excited though, we are just going to travel all around Europe and party it up! It's going to be awesome :)
I've met a lot of people who hate muslims... - Again, I dunno how it is in other countries. I'm only speaking for mine, as I cannot speak for countries I've only visited.
Meeting people who hate something in a country doesn't necessarily mean that they are frum that country.

Well you aren't alone or unique... lots of people hate other religions, not just Muslims.
Yeah, but we were talking about Muslims... And I haven't met anyone who hates christians. or atheists.My point is, Emma, that though I haven't been to many countries, I have met people frum other countries who hate muslims. Like americans. I have not bee to america, but have met americans who don't like us.
Wait, wait, wait. You don't know that there're people in this wrld who dislikes atheists? Atheists on this very group has told about the shit they've heard from relegious people. And we've got jews. It's not so bad anymore, but just look at 2nd world war, and that's just one of many examples. As for Christians. I don't know what people think of Christians. Of course, Catholic people like to tell Lutherans that they're not real chrstians, and lutherans like to tell Cathilics that they're extremists. And as for the rest... I think I made my point pretty clear about that.
Well 'I' fr one haven't met anyone who hates atheists... but I'm sure there are people out there who do. As for Jews, I didn't mention them because I know there's a large ommunity who have something agaiinst jews.
Yeah, I know and *sigh* that has yet to be... wait. Yes, corruption. They cheat in the votes. Most people I know don't even vote
