I just watched a documentary named ‘Where in the world is Osama Bin Laden’ [2007], directed & hosted by Morgan Spurlock, a married man whose wife is pregnant and expecting their first child in November. Morgan visited some Middle East countries including Egypt, Morocco, Palestinian Territories, Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan & Pakistan in search of information about Osama Bin Laden during his wife’s pregnancy.
The documentary was an average show. The title sounded like an American parody chat show but when I watched it, I saw few noticeable scenes with touching conversation so I noted them.
1
In Tel Aviv, Morgan asks one person what was his thought on the Palestinian conflict?
The man answered in his Middle East accent, ‘You know when we were kids, there was this game where you play music and there’s a circle of chairs’
Morgan, ‘Yeah, Musical Chairs.’
The man, ‘Musical Chairs. This is a bit like a musical chair tragedy. Somebody is left without a chair. But everybody needs to sit somewhere’

Morgan interviews Israeli journalist Yair Lapid.
Morgan, ‘Should Israelis move out of the settlements?’
Yair, ‘I think Israel will eventually have to let go off the territories. I think we are not holding the territories, the territories are holding us. The tragedy of this place is that everybody knows exactly what would be the solution in the end, what would be the end of the story. Two countries that are connected, but separated. And this is the way it’s going to end. Every person in his right mind knows this is the way it’s going to end. The one thing we don’t know is how many people are going to die and how much time is going to pass. But the end is very clear.’
Morgan, ‘Yeah’
Yair, ‘That’s tragic’
Morgan, ‘Are there politicians working towards a solution?’
Yair, ‘Yes, there are politicians who are working for peace. The problem is, if you have three buses exploding in Tel Aviv, it will stop.’
Morgan, ‘Yeah’
Yair, ‘And we can progress the peace process once again, and then if a setter in the territories will kill somebody, it will stop again. And so, we’re being held hostage by the extremist form both sides.’

An Islamic praying in Arabic (translated), and the following was the prayer:
“O God, One leader to lead jihad for your sake. To liberate the land of Palestine. And the land of Iraq from the Christians. O God, the strong and noble one. O God, go after the Christians. O God, make wars in their homes. O God, release your armies upon them. O God, make the land of Palestine a graveyard for the Jews. O God, make the land of Iraq a graveyard for the Christians.”

Conversation with the Islam Pastor Sheikh Abdullah – Bin Ahmed Al Sweilen:
Morgan, ‘Do you feel America is trying to fight a war against the religion of Islam?’
Islam Pastor, ‘Well. Look at what you did in Iraq and Afghanistan.’
Morgan, ‘Well, they went to Afghanistan to get Osama Bin Laden and the Taliban wouldn’t give him up’
Islam Pastor, ‘Was it an act of aggression or not?’
Morgan, ‘We were seeking peace in Afghanistan’
Islam Pastor, ‘You went there with an ambulance or with a tank?’
<Laughter>
Morgan, ‘That’s a good question. Do you think Osama Bin Laden caused 9/11?’
Islam Pastor, ‘If one man in a cave was able to do this, what if all Muslims were to resist against America under the leadership of one man?’
Morgan, ‘See, but I don’t think 1.2 billion Muslims think the same way you think.’
Islam Pastor, ‘One single verse from the Koran and they will come.’
Morgan, ‘So why has no one said that verse yet?’
Islam Pastor, ‘These things get planed. Don’t disregard is as unlikely. What if we were to burn the refineries just to deprive you of the oil?’
Conversation ended.
Even though this was an ‘outdated’ documentary there wasn’t anything ‘very special’ about it and also above notes but still it made to feel few things.
The paintings in Palestinian separation walls were very touching; the Palestinian pains are reflected there. Reading the unpleasant translation of the prayer was much traumatizing. Mostly people in the world respect the other Islam countries feelings to Iraqi and Palestinian Muslims brotherhood, everybody support the victims, except United States, all are against the Jews for prejudicing Muslims in Palestine Territory and more than half world criticizes the US presence in Iraq and Afghanistan and their policies for those countries.
Death for death never could be a solution. But what they are asking in their prayers with their god was to go after other religion people, release god’s armies upon them. ‘O God, Make war in their homes’ can not be a good prayer. Whosever god is he, if he is real, he won’t bless these kinds of pleas.
Wishing to make Palestine a graveyard of Jews can not be a solution. How many Jews death could make Palestinians feel delighted? Another day the Jews will start praying with their God to make their country Palestinians graveyard. So when will it end? If everybody in this world spends their whole life wishing for war in others home will change everybody to devil sooner or later. If they wish that much violence in their prayers, imagine what they teach in their institutions? Instead of that, if they pray to their noble god to liberate those countries and also they pray for global peace, pray for justice, pray to make the Jews and US realize what they did, pray for no more war anymore, nobody discriminates, and nothing terrible happens, god may bless their wishes. But they made god confused, in one hand very honest dedication for god, in another hand so wicked wishes with god.
The one/fifth population of the world must stop teaching negative lessons to their children’s about what happened to Palestine and Iraq in the past. Everybody has to realize the current consequences and then only decide what to ask with god, what to teach their children’s. Terrorisms and wars are human mistakes and God isn’t coming to correct them. He has blessed us with lives and also gave us wisdom to solve them ourselves.
The Morgan’s short chat with Sheikh Abdullah – Bin Ahmed Al Sweilen was quite interesting. Sheikh was the one who was praying those lines before in the mosque. Later when Morgan asked few questions and Sheikh answered confidently + superciliously and questioned back, Morgan remained with no answer and ended the conversation without getting on any point. But the questions rose by Sheikh needs to be answered by the lords of these wars. Did you really go there for peace with tanks? And what will you do if they deprive you off the oil?
BTY, no questions for the JEWS.
