I don't understand what you mean.. surely it's pretty obvious isn't it? "Make your own shit, don't whine about other people's."

My video say Islam bad. Your video is Bush say oh noes.

Umm, did you even see the video I linked to? That was my entire point. When I heard that other Arabs killed more Palestinians in one month than Israel ever did I was amazed, considering how much slack they get in the media. Wow, George Bush's speech over a 9/11 slideshow? How...
