I'd believe that if most Muslim nations didn't support terrorist organizations, the only ally I've found in this war on terror is Pakistan, nix that Mushareff. The only reason he is helping us is because he has been targetted for assasination three times by "hardline" Muslims, and because people like Al Qaeda and the Taliban are a challenge to his power.
As far as I'm concerned, and this is only my opinion, I'm not a fan of Islam, and to be honest I don't think the people have are giving much to work with when it comes to them. I often find it to be a repressive religion of hate and ignorance. Now before you guys come back and try to assert how Christianity or Christians are somehow as bad as Islam, where in the civilized Western Christian world does it come anywhere close to the repressive nature of Muslim Sharian regimes? Why is it that women are treated as second class citizens in just about every muslim country? Where has been all the intellectual development in the Islamic world? Why do so many regimes openly support Idealoges of hate and terrorism? Where were all the Muslims speaking out against events such as 9-11? Why does all the leadership in the Muslim world seem to come to corrupt dictators or warlords? You guys can go ahead and call me prejudgiced and ignorant, I'll just fire back that many of you here are willingly ignorant to the frightening and troublesome reality our world is facing with the Islamic religion.
P.S. I'm not asserting it's all bad, just the Islamic world is in need of a MAJOR intellectual and idealological(sp) Reform.
