America – Respect and Regret
Organic Muslimah discusses why she will still proudly say she loves America.
I’ve grown appreciative having somewhere else to belong to. I can always say something smart, in my other language, Arabic, when someone manages to peeve me off. It’s like having my own little secret that I share with only a few others. Of course, being of somewhere entails a lot more than language, but a whole set of traditions, culture, values, perspectives. You name it. This sets me aside from everyone else and makes me unique.
…while Naeem explains why he simply can’t love America.
Because America constantly thumbs her nose at international attempts at global civility. From the Kyoto treaty to the Ottowa Treaty (banning land mines) to the International Criminal Court to the latest effort to ban cluster bombs – she’s proven to be a poor citizen in the neighborhood called Earth.
