I didn't care about Malcolm X until I read his autobiography and understood where he was coming from.

Are we talking chronologically here? Or dogma? If the latter you're right, if the former I'm right.
Or maybe we're both wrong... but I can't see we're both right.
Not that it matters. OK, current role model Muslim...
Naseem Hamed? Prince Nasseem the boxer? Not one of the greats - but a good sporting rolemodel.Some cry `Allah O Akbar` in the street. And some carry Allah in their heart.

an arab is technically someone from the Arabian peninsula (so Saudis, Yemenese, Emiratis, Omani, etc.). The other people in the middle east are really their own ethnic groups, descendents of the ancient Babylonians, Assyrians, Phoenicians, Philistines, Egyptians, etc., but they've been grouped as Arabs for centuries and, especially since the Pan-Arabist movement, have seen themselves as Arabs.
whats an englishman?

there was one fellow in Iraq, a cleric, who was a positive Muslim leader... I saw a biography about him on the History Channel. I forget his name, however he was an opponent of Muqtada Al-Sadr. He was calling for the creation of a secular Democracy in Iraq after Hussein was removed. He believed in a strict seperation of Islam and State. Unfortunately this man was assassinated in a bombing.To us, it is the BEAST.

You know my opinion of Bams Sava. We have evidence that Sadr killed the man and he personally benefited from his death. What do you have?I make no bones about my moral support for [terrorist] organizations. - chegitz guevara
