"LoL, nothing like having an Ally that would kill you as soon as the threat of force was removed. There are no True Muslim Allies, unless of course you are talking about the Muslim countries that are controlled by their own military so Islam does not take hold."

Can you really claim that there are no Muslim allies at all? Let's take the largest predominantly Muslim nation in the world for example.

Why has Indonesia captured more suspected terrorists than any other nation? Why did Indonesia refute Communism so harshly as to execute thousands of them in the 60's? Why do so many Indonesians wish to learn the English language? Why did Indonesia welcome UN troops to their nation when America requested that they get help in ending their violence in East Timor? Okay, so Indonesia questions our involvement in Iraq, but the mere questioning does not imply that they are no longer American allies.

We don't have an acid test to show which nations are allies, and which are not, but let's be real.

And let us not forget Singapore; they are sending troops to help police Iraq unlike many Christian European nations.

You do realize that the Indonesian Parliament removed it's "Democratically" elected President and installed one of its own? Indonesian politics mimics Turkey's, neither country lets an Islamic/Muslim come to power, unless they are pulling the strings, because they are all too aware of what "Peaceful" Muslims are capable of. That alone should tell you how far Muslims can be trusted.

I stand by my statement, we do not have any "True Muslim Allies" in this war on terror, only Muslims that fear our wrath should they openly support terrorism.
