Simple. Liberal media. Not all the media but a great deal of it. As for the USA, I think the politicians just give lip service to whomever gives them enough money. Turns out, Muslim propaganda meisters (CAIR for example) have a lot of money.

I never believed in this 'Arab spring'. I just figured these places were substituting new warlords for old. Oh, and about Libya, way back about 20 years ago, the alternative press was already pointing out that Gadhaffi was the most 'liberal' of Muslim dictators. He even had women in his military as part of his personal guard. And it was also pointed out that Gadhaffi wasn't 'playing ball' with the US when it came to Libyas oil. So if you're thinking that Obama was trying to free the Libyans, it might just be that Obama was freeing up the Libyan oil supply.

Sometimes, what is true depends on your point of view - Obi-wan Kenobi.

There are few areas in in which this is more true than in the distinction between a terroroist and a freedom fighter.

The Germans called resistance movements terrorists during WW2. Nelson Mandela was imprisoned as a terrorist. There are different attitudes to the IRA..... etc etc

a decade ago they were saying "Al Qaeda are terrorists" although they founded them and trained them (CIA)

wait the freedom fighters in Syria are Al Qaeda O.o oh God....

let me tell you what the media is trying to say: there is no such thing as a Muslim freedom fighter they are called terrorists but if there is a freedom fighter as long as they are not Muslim

i didn't hear anything about Al Qaeda being freedom fighters in Syria or Libya o.O

They are not freedom fighters. I'm sure they would like to be called freedom fighters but there are distinctions. The guys you are talking about purposefully target innocents, causing terror, thus they are terrorists.

What classifies a person as a terrorist or a freedom fighter depends on which side you're on.

During the Revolutionary War, the colonists viewed them as patriots & revolutionists, the British viewed them as terrorists & traitors.

One person's Freedom Fighter is another person's Terrorist.

Take the American War of Independence.

Guess who the Terrorists were... ;)

The USian Indians wanting to keep their land.

Guess who the Terrorists were ;)

One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. It depends entirely on your perspective.

dogs sent out by bigger dogs...nothing more. They arent fighting for freedom. Those fighting for freedom are the ones slugging it out every day in their electorate.

One man's meat is another man's poison .

I grew up in Belfast and what people are called depends on who's doing the calling.

It's not a surprise as CIA founded Al-Qaida.
