America misperceived

America misperceived

From Media Indonesia

I feel concerned lately by a wrong perception of America that is spreading throughout society here. As I frequently stay in America to accompany my children who are studying there, I can tell you that the U.S. government doesn't take sides with Christians. They open their doors to all religions and nations of the world. And Islam is a religion that is developing progressively there at present.

Therefore, I'm very concerned about the anti-America rhetoric and acts carried out here. It is important to realize that the Taliban government now only receives diplomatic recognition from Pakistan. Most Afghans are now fighting for their country's liberation from Taliban rule.
