More simple facts

Reader comment on item: Islam and Islamism in the Modern World
in response to reader comment: Facts ARE always simplistic

Submitted by Jeff (United States), Feb 15, 2013 at 13:34

Let's ask the AIDS non-orphan, whose parents are here because of AIDS drugs they take, why does the USA spend 3 billion dollars a year to save his parents and millions like them, but Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, and Iran contribute nothing? Could it have something to do with a black African's life not having the same worth? For whom?

Oh, and those horrible Christians, like the Maryknoll Sisters, or Catholic Relief Services, who leave it to the US Government to distribute condoms while they busy themselves teaching African, Pakistani and Bangladeshi children, including girls, how to read and write. Not to mention feeding them. They're obviously responsible for zillions of deaths.

By the way, in the US, in no jurisdiction anywhere, is it illegal, in theory or in practice, for a Muslim to fast during Ramadan. Speaking of simple facts.
