April 2003

@cockliesmcgoo But most Muslim countries are in fact Pro-American and not only do they allow American bases in their soil they also fight alongside americans in the War on Terror, more 10,000 Iraqi soldier died in these operation, and the numbers of Pakistanis that fell victim in favor of America's war (in Afghanistan) are even more extreme. Qatar hosts the biggest US base in the world, outside the United States

Would America host a (even if small) Qatari base in the US?

@morebloggin Of course it wouldn't - 70 countries helped America after hurricane Katrina including Cuba and Venezuela. Kuwait donated 500 million. UAE donated 100 million for Emirate (A total of 700 million) and Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait also host your bases. America only helps countries it can use - All the help to Libyan rebels and a war on Vietnamese rebels is hint number 1.

@1Waddup My country, Bahrain, hosts thousands of Non-Muslims and in fact, Westerns+Non-Muslims make up to 20% of the population. It has one of the least crime rates in the world according to NationMaster (So does Qatar, UAE, Kuwait) - It has been rated as the No.1 Friendliest nation in 2009 due to the country's hospitality in terms of Free education, free housing, free healthcare, safety, easy job opportunities (and more) with every expat it hosts.

but I guess this isn't all that normal so ^_^

no muslims are all terrorists and should be executed. the US should just nuke them now and save the trouble
