Reader comment on item: Islam in American Textbooks
in response to reader comment: To Grand Infidel: Islam is very popular in the west

Submitted by the Grand Infide of Kaffiristan (Australia), Mar 25, 2009 at 21:54

Mr. Mohammed, writing from a deluded perspective, wrote:

" Last President Bush and current predident Obama have repeatedly endorsed islam. ."

Another question you can ask yourself is why they had reason to even mention Islam.
We note that Bush and Obama and other politicians have not 'endorsed' let alone even mentioned Hinduism, Shinto Buddhism, Therevada Buddhism, Mahayana Buddhism or Seventh Day Adventists.

Could it be because they wish to avoid a backlash from unstable Muslims in their society? Whereas members of the faiths mentioned (amongst others) have enough quiet confidence and inner strength and do not need to be patted on the head and reassured like three year olds.

Another question - if we see Muslims treating 'Muslim converts' like this -

why do you complain when people object to the conscious spreading of ignorance in their own societies?

Ah, yes, they don't follow the REAL (i.e. your version of) Islam do they?
