It's simple - rick .. Muslims are silent when it serves them

You write: "RIght now in Iraq, Sunnis are slaughtering Shia and Shia are starting to do the same to them. No one says anything. Not Muslims. Not friends of Muslims. My guess is that when the power swings more to the Shia and the slaughter of Sunnis become much easier and much more frequent, the Sunnis will call time in the hope the Shia don't annihilate them. That will be the end of this terror."

It's that wonderful religion of peace. All these Muslims of the world and our stupid main stream media never say a word when Muslims kill Muslims or non-Muslims. However, they never tire of demonizing us for our presence in Iraq or any other Muslim country.

Nevermind, the kililing ,murder, slaughter of human beings is ok if it is done by Muslims. They have the divine right to do so. That's the reason no Muslims ever said anything when Saddam Hussein was killing all those Kurds, Shias, Kuwaitis, etc.

When USA got rid of Saddam, instead of expressing any gratitude, the Muslim nations(which never said anything about Saddam) are berating us and think we want steal their oil. We saved them in Bosnia, Kosovo, Kuwait, and did they ever say "thank you, USA ". No that will be below their dignity. I guess, you can't fault Muslims for that, they are simply following Quran.

Muslims cannot live under democracy. Only a brutal dictatorship like that of Saddam Hussein in Iraq or that of Tito in former Yugoslavia can keep them under control. One can look at Pakistan which is presently under the dictatorship of Pakistani army general Musharraf. Ever since its independence in 1947, Pakistan had democratic rule perhaps for less than 10 or 15 years (one can count the years under Bhutto, Nawab Sharrif or earlier years after independence), the rest of the time Pakistani army generals imposed their dictatorships on the country. Compare this to India which also got independence at the same time as Pakistan in 1947.

India has been democartic eversince independence. If India were a majority Muslim state, democracy would not have survived in India. This says a lot about about Muslim states. But neither Canada, or for that matter USA, will ever understand it.
