  • He was the best man of the humanities

    Anytime that I have misrepresented Islam, Arabs or people of the Middle East for facetiousness or jest at myself I will remember this man

    I am glad this is on youtube, so clear headed and perceptive, his deepness is what I hope to achieve one day to be a better person and he is so contrary to dubya, in his articulation and ability to unify and convey his message

  • thanks for sharing. this is by far the best video i've viewed.

  • @SmogHouseTradingCo beastie boys are jewish.

  • I don't get the point of the Beastie Boys other than some people understand this blatant racism?

  • @TheFreePisces gj pointing out when the video was made and when Said lived, but there's no reason to be hostile...

  • @holytemplar Said died in 2003, this video was created before Iraq was invaded by the USA.

    Read a book.

  • u.s. troops are "occupying" space in all those countries

  • @holytemplar

    Okinawa: Far Eastern Island belonging to Japan, rejected.

    Philippine Islands: Far Eastern Island Group, rejected.

    Korea: Never occupied, rejected. At the farthest East of the Asian Continent, rejected.

    Afghanistan: Shortly occupied after toppling the Taliban 'government', then given to a newly formed Afghan governement.

    Iraq: Shortly occupied during the few weeks of the war, then given to a newly formed Iraqi governement.

    Check your definition of occupation, please. Thank You.

  • @professionalstrongma: ...one whom I will beat into clamorous whining, if thou deniest the least syllable of thy addition.
