Ever hear of Turkey? Malaysia?
Most Muslim nations which are now experiencing social upheaval were either conquered and created by Western powers (most Arab nations, Indonesia, most African Muslim populations) or are supported by Wahhibists (Kosovo, Bosnia, Chechnya).
The problem is not Islam. It is a mix of fundamentalism and oppression.
Wrong. Islam and oppression go hand in hand.
Ever hear of Turkey? Malaysia?
Ive been waiting for you to ask me that, and this just shows how little you really know.
Yes, I have and have written about them extensively here.
I've not only traveled extensively inthe middle east, I have lived in Malaysia as an expat dhimmi for years and was close with many well connected individuals there and have seen and heard things that I could write several books about, had I not cared about revealing information about the individuals concerned.
You quote Turkey.
Turkey is not a prime example of an islamic state. The Kemalists used a fist of iron to bash the islam out of them, ban hijabs in school and government offices, and impose western ideals and ways on them. Is iron fist rule under secular, not islamic laws, your solution for the rest fo the islamic nations?
As for malaysia. It's an apartheid state run under islamic religious apartheid. If this is your ideas of pointing your finger at a a mythical islamic shangri la, i suggest you go live there and get back to me in a few years. Make sure you go to trengannu and speak to the locals who live under sharia law.
Now my question to you is:
1. Do you know what the bumiputra system is?
2. Do you know what inspires it?
3. Do you know who PAS is?
4. do you know how UMNO stays in power?
Or are you just full of hot air, quoting nations and things you know nothing about?
I eagerly await your reply to numbers 1-4.
