Don't read about people...meet them

[fahim mohammed]

live amongst them.

Maybe you might understand their cultures a little more, and begin to respect it. Maybe win some hearts and minds.

Don't tell me how educated you are.
Tell me how much you have travelled.

Hi Fahim,

I understand the sentiments and agree with them, although I also think that for most of us meeting these people far, far away from where we live is a dream which may never come true. In that case, the second best option is to read about them and to enjoy the fine pictures brought to us by the kind photographers like yourself.

Cheers,

Cem, you are right. But then one has to be very vigilant in what one reads, sees, and hears in the media.
In such cases people can be brainwashed into forming opinions of others that are manifestly wrong.
More so, if opinions are consistently expressed by so called wannabe ' specialists '.
