It is amazing how the world muslim population condone the Iranian President's suggestion to annihilate Israel and sponsor Holocaust jewish cartoons. And yet, allow violence all around the world because of a harmless mohammed cartoon.
With Islam's archaic ideologies going back over 1500 years,it is also interesting to note that Middle Eastern countries prior to the advent of Islam have been influential and progressive empires, ie Babylon, Egypt, Assyrans, Persia, Pheonicians, etc.
After the advent of Islam in the Mideast, each and every middle eastern country have become basketcases economically and politically.
It is no wonder why Muslims are so intolerant, violent and backwards! I should know, I am female and was born in a Chinese muslim family and have lived in Indonesia, Malaysia and China. I know what I am talking about! I could only imagine how much worse it is in the backwards mideast in contrast to the progressive far east.
It perplexes me to see how educated young women could condone what the bigotted sexist islamic religion does to women and innocent people around the world.
I am so glad I do not have to live in the nonprogressive backwards Middle East subjugated by sexist clerics and men with an inferiority complex.
