We see the destruction and the resistance and Muslims see "Christian invaders" such as George Bush who label the war as a crusade. When the media reports this to the public what are they suppose to assume about the war other then it is a religious conquest? This idea is what Sam was getting at and that is why we were supposed to be in the shoes of the Muslims and try to understand everything from their side. Which I fully grasped and I now have a totally different appreciation for the war and why Muslims in the Middle East may hate us. Prior to the lecture I never really took the time to understand why Muslims may hate us but after the lecture it became quite clear and to me it was very understandable. This was probably the best lecture of the year in my opinion and possible the best lectures I have attend in my college experience thus far. cont.

The information and perspective of being a Muslim in the Middle East really opened my eyes and helped me fully understand what is happening and partially why it is happening. It all just really made sense to me. For this reason I find it strange that some people could still get offended by this lecture. The only way I could see someone getting offended by this lecture is if you were not paying attention closely and then heard something out of context and then just completely shut Sam out. Which in my opinion is very possible with what I see people doing around me each class (texting, talking, reading. etc)? Either way it was a great lecture and I want to give props to same for crushing it.

That video was in your face and if you attended the lecture you would completely understand where this video and Sam is coming from. Thumbs up to whoever edited this too. Good work, it is very intense just like the Jihad video we watched in class. On another note I am not sure how you could get offended by this after attending the lecture and understanding what Sam was trying to do. We were switching places and cultures to better understand where Muslims are coming from and why some might join the fight against America. Just like some Americans believe all Muslims are bad there are Muslims that think all Americans are bad. This is a small portion of each culture but the media presents only one side of each argument for each country. For America were fighting nothing but radicals and for Muslims in the Middle East it’s a fight against radical Christians who are invading their land. The lecture was just meant to show that this does not just happen by chance but is instead created from many misunderstood interpretations by both sides. Just like we develop are ideas from what we see about Muslims on the news, Muslims do the same in relation to Christians.

I honestly think part of us "moving on" is that Americans have become numb to the death of a human life. We watch the news and we hear about the murders and other deaths that have occurred the night before and we just pass it off. We also watch the shot em up movies and horror films and think nothing of it. I think this directly plays a role in Americans not valuing lives as much or at least becoming numb to the situation of death. If it is not right in our faces we just pass it off and move on with our lives like nothing happen. I don't know why this is the case but it seems to be a growing trend.
