Thanks for the reply, I kind of didn&#...Hi Shannon! Thanks for the reply, I kind of didn't expect it, but I'm happy you did :) I just wanted to express some of my thoughts because it always seems like people are pin pointing to Muslims all the time like the guy on yahoo today who was talking about how if any person is a devout Muslim cannot also be an American. By the way, I was born and raised in American and am also a Texan (as is the guy in the vid). Its people like that who are so ignorant that really irk me! Thanks again for your comment, it means a lot! :)<br /><br />Heres the vid though, if you haven't seen it: http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/ad-gun-training-bars-muslims-obama-voters-153954962.htmlMaria Aimenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05177584392564223596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6324218.post-50533333602073675882011-10-27T14:43:16.967-05:002011-10-27T14:43:16.967-05:00Maria, I think you're preaching to the choir. ...Maria, I think you're preaching to the choir. :) I don't think I said anything critical about Muslims in general. If I did, it was not my intention because I certainly don't feel that way.<br /><br />I did make a couple of judgmental comments about the parents who denied their children a basic education in favor of memorizing the Koran but that has nothing to do with their being Muslim. I would feel the same way about a parent who taught their child to memorize the Bible but not to read and write. In my opinion that does a disservice to the child. <br /><br />I totally agree with you that it's a Tiger Mom (or Tiger Dad) problem, not a religious one. As I said in my post, some of the children were looking forward to competing next year. They obviously wanted to be there and they wanted to do well. <br /><br />Every religion, Christianity included, has their misguided radicals who do stupid things. Forming an opinion about a religion or culture based on the actions of those radicals is wrong. I completely agree with you.<br /><br />If I've said anything that offends you or that casts a negative light on Islam, I truly apologize. It was not what I intended. I thank you for your comment and I hope that you'll visit again!Shannon Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05096086123820406604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6324218.post-34899544011843011682011-10-27T13:11:12.281-05:002011-10-27T13:11:12.281-05:00I like the Tudors too, I was sad when it ended.
...I like the Tudors too, I was sad when it ended. <br /><br />My reason for commenting, though, is that I am a Muslim, and although I haven't seen the movie you are referring to, I just wanted to say that you shouldn't believe everything that you hear on TV or read on the net or newspapers. I'm sure any other American (which I am, by the way), would also be cautious about watching this movie, and feel bad for the kids, but don't. A lot of kids want to learn the Koran, and the ones that do not at that age end up regretting it when they get older. Yes there are crazy people that who try and push their kids to excel in these types of things, but its not just Muslims, there are "Tiger moms" for the Chinese, and people who are always pushing their kids to work harder at extensive spelling bee's and things of that nature as well. I just wish people would start understanding that there are good and bad people everywhere, and just because there are some bad people, doesn't make us bad as a whole. Please try and understand this. Islam really and truly is a religion of peace, and just as people watch in disgust at suicide bombers and killers, we as Muslims watch in even more disgust and horror because they are doing horrible things, things that we are not even supposed to do, and using Gods name (YES I say God, because God and Allah are one and the same...our Lords are the same..they are one) and they are using the excuse that "we are Muslim", but in fact, they are not. Muslims are not supposed to do bad things, they are supposed to be honorable, commendable and loving to one another. And there are many, many like that. I know that you, or someone reading this right now may find this hard to believe, but if anything, please remember that some bad people are not how the whole of the people is. Islam is beautiful, truly a pure religion, and values much of the same as the Jews and the Christians.<br /><br />Sorry for the super long comment, I just wanted to get that out there.

I loved learning about King Henry VIII in school and enjoyed seeing it played out on screen. The costumes and settings are great. I agree with you on the sex scenes though. I guess they had to add alot of those for ratings, lol. Thanks for the recommendation on the other shows. I'm always looking for new ones to watch.LifeLessOrdinaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00561744903761034276noreply@blogger.com
