oil and women

Reader comment on item: A Key Change to "The Pope and the Koran"

Despite all this religious hubris there are only two strengths to the Islamic faith

1. Oil. With the complicity of the Western and especially American oil companies, this strength needs no further elaboration.
2. The dominion over women. The moslem male enjoys the total domoination of the Moslem Female, no checks and balances.

Wars were fought for lesser dominions.
Take away one or the other, and the whole Islamic edifice falls on its face.
