2015 Cheap Womens Grey Nike Free Run 2

Some years ago,
Original Purple Nikes, in response to a rather strong piece on US shenanigans in the Middle East,
Shopping Cheap Nike Roshe Preto, an American reader wrote back: "Why do you hate America?" As some of my perceptive readers might have already deduced, I get loads of fan mail in response to my weekly rants,
Buy Authentic Venda De Roshe Run, especially from my own kind and most of it not most flattering.

Yet the accusation ‘why do you hate America’ from an all American white reader was a little disconcerting. For I do not see myself as an America phobe.

The influence of American literature, Hollywood, culture and their collective glorification of ambition, excellence, grit and hard work left a lasting impact on an impressionable Muslim boy. Those influences are still a part of my consciousness. Just as they are a part of the people of my generation and generations after that.

For none of us,
Shopping Cheap Roshe Run Mujer, wherever we are and whoever we are,
AuthenticSize 7.5 Nike Free Run 3 Black Mens, can escape the influences of McWorld. You don’t have to be a Star Wars fan, drink Coke or sport Levi’s and Nike to be a part of the empire of mind created by America. There is a little America in all of us. And we all love and admire in various degrees what America ostensibly stands for or once stood for: democracy,
How Much Are The Free Run 4.0 V2, freedom, civil liberties, freedom of speech and action and a celebration of individualism and ‘doing your own thing’.

If you are born with imagination, original ideas or just happen to be a plain hard working guy, then the land of the free is for you. No matter where you were born or where you come from, Uncle Sam will embrace you. If you have guts for glory, patience and persistence, it’s not impossible for anyone to get a slice of the American pie. Life is beautiful!

This is what we once believed about America. Many of us still do. At least, I still do. I like my share of Hollywood potboilers, westerns and John Grisham’s legal thrillers where small, insignificant men are pitted against big, bad corporate leviathans and who ultimately prevail over their far more powerful opponents.

Despite the watershed transformation that America has undergone after September 11,
Size 8.5 Women Nike Roshe Run Woven, there’s been little change in the essential character and soul of the country discovered by Columbus.

It might have changed in the way foreigners are received at US airports. The punishing frisking, scanning and daunting questioning certainly make all visitors to the land of the free feel unwelcome. This gets all the more unpleasant when visitors happen to be or look like you know who! But then that’s how it is in the rest of the world from European airports to Asian holiday destinations.

The welcome ceremony doesn’t vary much whether you are at LaGuardia airport in New York or passing through Charles de Gaulle of Paris. That now infamous date in September 2001 has changed, perhaps forever,
Cheap Nike Roshe Run Net Shoes (Women), the way we fly and the way we look at each other. Especially the way the Americans view the rest of the world, and Muslims in particular.

Yet notwithstanding the unprecedented curbs imposed on civil liberties and basic rights of the Americans at home and the usual suspects around the world, Muslim Americans are still better off than their counterparts say in Europe. This is borne out by several recent opinion polls.

This may come as a surprise but Muslim Americans still feel and see themselves as a part of the US mainstream. This despite the pathological aversion of this administration for all things Islamic and its disastrous war on terror. In total contrast,
Buy Cheap Online Free Run 4 V2, the European Muslims, long paraded as a model of the continent’s fabled multiculturalism and tolerance,
Official Site Free Run 4, are dangerously angry and unhappy with the west’s policies in the Muslim world in general and their host countries in particular.

Unlike the Muslim Americans who are a healthy part of the mainstream, Muslims in Europe have been living on the sidelines of their societies. And unlike their fellow believers across the Atlantic who’ve been enjoying the fruits of America’s economic progress, Europe’s Muslims live in deprivation and isolation in their ghettos and enclaves.

So it’s no coincidence that the US hasn’t witnessed any major incidents involving US Muslims since 9/11. None of those who blew themselves up against the World Trade Centre six years ago were born or grew up in the US. On the other hand, Europe has reported several so called terror plots apparently involving Muslims.

Remarkably, US Muslims responded swiftly to the challenge posed by 9/11 developments. First, they closed ranks. Second, they reached out to main street America addressing the accusations and misconceptions vis a vis Islam and Muslims. Instead of withdrawing into their shells,
How Much Do Nike Free Run 5.0 Pink, they tried their best to present the true face of their noble faith.

But I must point out that this is also a tribute to the US model of tolerance and assimilation. If US Muslims today identify themselves with America without compromising their religious and cultural identity, the credit goes in no small measure to the American spirit of genuine tolerance and embracing newcomers.

Perhaps this can happen only in America. It’s only in the US that an Austrian immigrant,
Do You Want Buy Roshe Runs, Arnold Schwarzenegger,
Size 8 Nike Free 5.0 Black, can scale Hollywood heights to become governor of California. Or Bobby Jindal, an Indian American,
Where Can i Buy Remise En Argent, can become governor of Louisiana. And who knows you might even have a Muslim governor soon! On the other hand, across the Atlantic you’re still known as a Paki or Moroccan butcher despite having being born and brought up in Europe. In Europe,
How To Order Nike Free Tiffany Blue, although I’m a British citizen, they still refer to me as a Pakistani novelist. In the US,
Where To Buy Nike Roshe Run Mesh, even though I’ve never had an American passport,
Save To 70% Off Rosherun Azul Rosa, I am called a Pakistani American."

I love and admire this side of America. The America of Robert Frost, Mark Twain and Hemingway. This is the land of Jefferson, Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr and Mohammed Ali.

This America is different from the one that the media punditocrasy obsesses over day after day. The America that repels and agitates you and me is like a different country altogether. Represented by neocons, Zionist lobbies and powerful corporate interests,
Size 9 Nike Roshe Preto, this entity is self centred and most often doesn’t seem to see beyond its nose.

It seeks to run the whole world as its extended colony,
Store Online Nike Roshe Run Women Neon Pink. It doesn’t lose sleep over a couple of million innocent lives wasted here and there. It’s this leviathan that we often deal with in the Middle East and around the world.

Unfortunately, this America controls and manipulates the America that we all know and love. For like Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Uncle Sam appears to suffer from a split personality. You don’t quite know which side indeed represents the real America.

But it is not for us the outsiders to determine which side of America is plastic and which truly represents its values, ideals and spirit. It’s for the Americans to decide once and for all which America really represents them and which they would like the world to see: The America of Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay or the freedom loving and humane America that comes forward to help the helpless,
Where Can i Buy Nike Free Run 3 Womens, as it did during World War II and more recently in the Balkans? Will the real America please stand up?
