Winning the propaganda war

For Muslims, to pay attention to what the West is about is illusory at this point in time.

Muslims are brainwashed from their day of birth to their day of death, in the supremacy of the Arab, Muslim male over any other human. Told to think that way, who in his right mind would make the effort to think that reality may be totally different.

Therefore the Koran must be reformed. Wishful thinking! Probably. Christians and Jews are trying to find commonality of purpose, where Islam and Muslims are claiming supremacy. The Nazi did the same. Supreme race they claimed. They couldn't care less what the West had to offer or what the West was about.

Masses of Muslims are enslaved to a miniscule but powerful group of individuals. A certain type of mullahs. The poverty that is seen throughout the Muslim world has more to do with the use of the Koran by the leaders of these very same Muslim countries whether Shiites or Sunnis than any other factor.

Reform and education of the masses is the only way out.
An almost impossible task.
