Doing a project for Media - 9/11 being Bush's Reichstag Fire

So, for my practical project for Media we are allowed to either do coursework on:

Advertising and Marketing
Film and Genre
Documentary

The thing I love about this, is that we are allowed to choose ANY field we want for any of the topics. I chose documentary, and I was thinking about doing a project on Muslims/Islam and how it is being singled out in todays society following 9/11 and 7/7.
BUT, I changed my mind. Instead, I have chosen to write a documentary about how terrorism is a total farce; made up to scare the public and allow draconian laws to be passed. A large part of this project will be comparing George W. Bush to Adolf Hitler, of which there are numerous similarities. The main one is how Hitler, during the 1930's, blamed the Jews for every problem that Germany faced, eventually brainwashing the majority of the population and leading to the near extintion of the Jewish race. George Bush and Tony Blair are also trying to do this, by essentially drilling the fact into our heads that every single Muslim is evil, and Islam is Satan. We are unaware of it, but each day I hear more and more people telling me how Muslims are to blame for terrorism and that Islam preaches hate.

So, considering Im in the U.K. and will be comparing both Bush and Blair to Hitler (mainly Bush though, Blair is just his lap-dog), is there anything I should be careful writing about in this project? I understand that it is an extremely controversial piece of coursework, but fuck it, I was born controversial :)

It belongs in the politics forum, for sure.


I was just in Washington, D.C., and saw practically no police, no army, no anti-Muslim hysteria, or anything else that you suggest. Yes, was a war in Iraq - but it's very unpopular right now with the public.

If you think that "terrorism is a total farce", I feel sorry for you.

There is no "Jewish Race". Judaism is a religion.

Bush and Blair have never "drilled" anything against Islam into our heads. They are far less against Islam, and other religions, than I am.

Islam is a hateful religion, but you'd have to read portions of the Koran, and it's directives, to understand that.

Bush may be stupid, but he's not a Hitler.

Pick another topic - you don't know what you're doing.

Howdy Tom,

Congratulations ! You are an official,card-carrying member of the 5th Column ! :thumbsup:

Have a good one ! :D

Here my take on Muslims.

I dont think i can use the word hate for them, but i dont trust them, and its all of them.

I know, i know, i shouldnt tar all of them with the same brush, but when people from their religion start flying planes into buildings and blowing up our underground [I WAS THERE WHEN IT HAPPENED] you cant help but think, why are they aloud in OUR country.

I mean, look at it this way, what other religion has suicide bombers, or people willing to fly jets into buildings, just got kill us.

I know i should only be angry with the fanatic muslims, but like i said, i dont trust any of them. I mean, they are taking over England, not only muslims, but immigrants in general.

They get into our country illegally, take our jobs, use our health care, waste our tax money, and then go and kill a handful of us.

THIS is why almost ALL of the younger generations are racist towards Muslims, and blame everything on them.

[But in the way of bombs, and suicide bombers it IS all them]

Now, there is a big differnce in HATING and not trusting them, so dont look at me as a racist, belive me, im bloody well not.

*Thats the way i see it, and if i offended anyone, i didnt mean to, im point out fact as well as giving my opinion.*

How about the companies that mass hire off shore help.. perhaps they are to blame?
You can't seriously blame anyone for wanting to take a job that is considerably better than anything their contry offers.

I'm sure you would do the same thing..

It appears that some of the 'brainwashing' you suspect has worked on some of the people around here.

If you want to do a comparison documentary, try Bush and Nixon - that's what several are speculating around here. Specifically, Bush's abuse of executive power, unchecked.

I know many Muslims, and none of them are terrorists. They are hard working, legal members of the community. Yes, there are extremeists, which were involved with terrorism, but not all of them. There are extremeists around in any religion. Many of them got Bush elected. Many of them are fighting against stem cell research, and make the US one of the only civilized countries who promote creationism instead of evolution.

In the US, we have a variety of immigrants, all taking up resources here, not just Muslims. One has to consider, though, if they weren't coming here to take advantage of those resources and seek a better life .... would they be building another North Korea?

Oh, and yeah, I think this belongs in the politics forum.

No, the point im trying to make, is THEY, the ILLEGAL immigrants, are comming to our country, taking our jobs, using our health care, funded by our TAX money and how do they repay us? They go blowing holes in our country.

The point im making? Immigrants should not be allowed in. Simple as that.

They take our work, and when we need it we cant get it, why? Because an immigrant has got it, and they shouldnt even BE here.

LIP, you sir, and I say that lightly, are nothing more than a racist fuck. I guarantee somewhere in your family's history there are some immigrants, so without them, you would not exist.

Climb out of your deluded little world and get a clue kid.

Oh, and yes this is a personal attack. If you were standing in front of me, you would be nursing a black eye and a bloody nose right now.
