Dear Mr. Harrak:

We in the Islamic world like to blame every body else for all our problems. Case in point, Japan was occupied and bombed by the Americans in WW2. Now it is the second biggest economy in the world, not to mention Taiwan, Singapour, India and of course China.

I suspect you are a Muslim and a Sunni. If I'm right please do little research to find out how oppressive the Iranian regime is twards the Sunnis living in Iran. When I compare Pakistan and India, I see a world of difference in their societies; India has become an economic powerhouse and Pakistan trains Mujahedin and build madresahs.

It is about time all Muslim countries stop blaming their backwardedness on the others and look inward and go to work and stop hating everbody who has something to offer except them.
