if you look back into history you will see that morocco an arab muslim country was the first in the world to recognize the american colonies as a sovereign nation which created trade between the two nations and easier access to black slaves so your country can grow
oh you havnt seen his best friend matt damon talk yet have you? yeah they are both smart as fuck man, and they basically hold the same point of views. I love arabs, i do its islam i have a problem with and i dont equate the 2 together, just like i dont equate america with christianity which most people do in the middle east.
Come on Ben, you know as well as I do that the media and Hollywood is responsible for the demonization of Middle Eastern people. How many times do we see Arabs and Middle Easterners portrayed as villians in movies or on TV?
I love how the audience didn't even react when he said it... They caught on when he EXPLAINED why it was f-ed up to say such a thing... Ben, there should be more people out there thinking like you, the world would be better and more educated. You Go Girl!!!
I saw this video a long time ago and I'm still in awe when seeing it again. I don't think I have EVER seen any other "famous person", liberal or not, stand up and say, "Look, Arabs are NOT bad people." The rest are complacent, silent sheeples. Ben's an intelligent, open-minded and articulate person and like someone else said, Jen's a lucky woman :)
God bless his soul! Seriously the Arabs are always discriminated against and that is so unfair they are normal human beings. There's good and bad in every race, no need to generalize and stereotype!
Ben is of course right that Arab and "good people" are not mutually exclusive. However, I think he is misinterpreting McCain, McCain correctly rebuked the woman at the rally who said Obama was an Arab, and then went on to say that Obama was a good man with good intentions.
Hollywood putting arabs for yeaaaaars in in the baddest roles!! the zionist leaders of Hollywood!! Mama ..Ben Affleck said that we dont have to hate the Arabs anymore cause they are also Human!! that must be true or not?
@Cla900 I don't usually do this, but I've decided to remove my post To be honest, I watched the clip again and I take your point. Iam atheist and as such against all ideologies that persecute other atheists, but "Arab" can be Muslim, Christian, Atheist, whatever. Either way, the man makes a good and valid point so that's that.
You are not a muslim Ben, but Allah probably has a nice spot in paradise for you simply for practicing tolerance, a VERY iportant aspect of Islam in itself!!! May he bless you always for having a good heart!!!
@eviltreemonster I have some muslims friends myself, and yes its true, if you make friends with these guys, most of the time you will have good, loyal and caring friends.
I meant Arabs in particular. Muslims are all right but I like Arabs. Doesn't matter if they are Christian, Muslim or atheist. I am out as lesbian and my Saudi friends are totally fine with it.
@00971502933022 a lot of them do, unfortunately and a lot of arabs hate jews too, sadly, but just because a lot of them hate each other, doesnt mean that if you are a jew, you will automatically hate arabs...
@TheArwin200 you are right when i was young i was tought that jews are bad and killers and i use to belive that without thinking but when i read history i found the same thing but now i know why they hates arabs and muslims so mush (btw most arabs hate jews and when you ask them why? the answer is :aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa )
wow I can reply rudely like you but I wont, because I respect others and not judge learn something. dont being so judgmental and disrespectful its not funny no one thinks it is n if they just as ignorant as ur comment sounds. read it again u will know what im talking about. . I am not trying to disrespect you not my intentions, but to get respect you give respect.
masha Allah ben Aflek is a Future Muslim brother insha allah. he has got a lot of good in him and is a great candidate for the mercy of allah almighty
God bless you Brother, you re so right , we are muslims and have to right to be, as jewish and catholic and alll the other religions, , and we are open up to the other religion andour first goal is the forgiveness, forgive anyone who accuse us, simply, because they dont know the wonderful inside islam, islam welcome anybody, and forgive any body , and live with every body
and he is so right. When someone says arabs they think if terrorism and bad people. Seriously people need to get a freaking education before they open their filthy mouths.
I always loved his movies alot, I think he is a great actor, however i didn't know that he has good personality and intelligance enough to think that way, actually I didn't think that he cares about these things to begin with.
Thanks Ben, you stand in the right place in this situation and thanks God he is not brain-washed as most Americans.
Ben affleck really nailed one down. The hatred, not not hatred but fear of Arabs and Muslims is strange. Thank Ben, ur amazing.
