ignorance is all over the world..ignorance is also relative...closed minded people unwilling to even look at another point of view because they are so sure they are correct make up the vast majority of ignorant people in the world.....so before you say you are 100% sure of anything..make sure to look in the mirror and ask yourself if it is not you that is the ignorant one?????

Salam Alaikum:

My Dear Sister:

I have spent a good amount of time in Egypt when I was a Christian. Would you like me to list what I saw MANY "pious" Brothers and Sisters doing in that country? How about the view "there are NO homosexuals in Egypt" or being from Canada I was asked, "Is it true you all live underground in winter because it's too cold to surface?". ^o) Trash and ignorance, my Dear, is found in every country, within every religion, within every culture and colour. It is OUR duty to learn, it is NOT our duty to judge an entire group of people based on the actions of a few. Just as we protest being put under the same category as the terrorists that call themselves Muslims, so will they protest the stereotype being presented here.

Wasalam,
Hana

HAHA!! That's about as bad as when I went to New Orleans some people were asking me if I grew potatoes in Iowa and if we ran around in overalls with no shoes.

lol The hardest part was trying to keep a straight face because these people are so sincere in most cases. Oh, I've had the funniest questions asked of me and I really wish I would have kept a list of them. Some were absolutely priceless.

What I find quite disconcerting is how ignorant the average American is about everyday news items and world events. It seems most Americans are either preoccupied with Football or Ann Nicole Smith, but not about serious political issues. Your average American has not the slightest bit of information about the rest of the world, and nor do they want to know about the rest of the world. You ask them to find a country on the map and they cannot even do that. Why are Americans so ignorant? This is a baffling question, but it needs careful methodical analysis.
Americans simply don't want to know about the rest of the world. They have a keen analysis of beer, their trash women, and baseball, but they pay the least attention to history or culture. Of course, the government in this country is quite content with that. Celebrated leftist writer Noam Chomsky made an interesting point in his book, "Media Control: The Spectacular Achievements of Propaganda," that it is in the best interest of the government that the public is distracted on the super bowl or television sitcoms. That way, they think about nothing else. Any comments.

I do agree but we can't totaly blame the average american, it is the news media that only reports what it wants too. The ignorance is that they choose to keep there eyes/ears/mouths closed. Speak up people this is America isn't it?

Exactly! Every country has their fascinations with their local sports (witness africa cup mania currently gripping many africans), local celebrities, and a certain amount of ineptitude on the subject of world affairs.

I think the better question to ask is "why are people everywhere so preoccupied with the dunya?" Ah, it's an age old question.

Have you taken a representative survey to back up your findings? Any proof that world history classes only study america? Cuz I know that my AMERICAN history class focused on america, but in my world history classes, we studied, um, other countries.

See, this is a pet peeve of mine - people take their own experiences and extrapolate them out to the society as a whole. It would be better for you to say that "your experiences" with world history are this, rather than to imply that this is how all americans learn about world history. It makes for a much sounder argument.

LOL, not fighting, just trying to give some advice on how to improve in your debating :coolious:

I know this is an issue I'm working with my husband on. He tends to make absolutist statements about whatever subject we're talking about, which prompts me to go and find a few instances where he's wrong, thus destroying his argument :D He's learning to choose his words more carefully if he wants to win against me in a debate, ha.
