None of you know what my background is or what I have studied, either. We'll just leave it at that.

my response wasn't aimed at you. i'm sorry if it came off that way. it was aimed at those on social media, where blog posts and opinion pieces are regarded as fact by many. it's rather disturbing to say the least.

just wanted to clear that up.

The videos were not intended to be a Masters Degree course on Middle Eastern History etc. They were intended as bare bones explanations for some very confusing names etc.

One of these days, these folks are going to catch a clue that people who disagree with them are not the real enemy. I hope.

Thank you! I'll admit that I thought you were jumping on the bandwagon with the others. Thanks for clearing that up.

i enjoyed the first video. i thought it was excellent in covering terms that aren't discussed on the news. i haven't watched the second one yet but will tomorrow. i've had enough jihad for today.

I thought so too. Can't imagine what is wrong with a little education? Bare bones facts.

Have a good night eve. Always a pleasure...

Thanks to the OP for the links. I thought the first video was good too. Sort of a little Cliffs Notes.

Going to bed now, hope everyone has a good night!!

Thanks for the hint DY, I would have NEVER figured that out on my own!

What's wrong is that they assumed I meant all Muslims because they didn't bother to take the couple of minutes to watch the videos, primarily the second one, to see who I was referring to.

Heh... You're welcome! It took me a second to figure it out, too. Good night!!

Good night to Eve, also.

Good night girls. I'm turning in also.
