Kourosh states;

"People around the world, however, should realize that coming to the help of a subjugated minority that is undergoing excruciating hardship is a moral responsibility"

Its a great shame he does not see fit to equally condemn his fellow Muslims who commit the same excruciating hardship on their own minorities,when these are still in existence.

They have mostly been driven out long ago,forced to convert or been killed off.

The Christian minority in Egypt are facing excruciating hardship which will probably get worse if the Moslem Brotherhood have their way.

No mention of them by Kourosh-he is too busy spreading propaganda.

All minorities in Islamic countries,especially Christians, are persecuted in one way or the other.

Lets hear about them form Kourosh.

Wonder if I could have an article about Christian hardship published in Islamic countries-dont think so.

The tide of radical Islam needs to be reversed.
How many former Buddhist countries have been compulsorily converted to Islam. And how well do these new minorities, in their own lands, fare under the often very cruel heel/yoke of Islam, Sharia law, and the self important, self appointed thought police, who seem to accompany it.
That said, Burma now seems to be heading toward a path of democracy and guaranteed human rights, which should by and large, take care of the concerns expressed by this author?

Rhrosty,mik,

So, Moslems should be massacred and abused in one country because Moslems oppress non-Moslems in another.

Of course not and sympathy must be given to the innocent

However,the well known hypocrisy of Kourosh Ziabari has to be realized..

Islamists have never shown the slightest remorse for their own inhumane actions.

Its a bit rich for them to expect others to observe better standards,which of course we do, as its part of our culture.

...And Mic/Rhrosty: The Iraq and Afghanistan pogroms (wars), waged by Christians (USA), against Muslims; where do they fit into your reasoning, when you refer jointly to the “Better standards of the West” and the "Tide of radical Islam"?

mik,

I agree with you in regard to Ziabari's double standards BTW, previous articles have been obvious pro Moslem propaganda.

My sympathy goes to those who propose, or do, no harm to others; and took to the streets of Mandalay in their thousands, as unarmed and peaceful protesters.
Buddhist monks, who were mindlessly mowed down and massacred in their thousands.
That said, I am not unmoved by the suffering of all other innocents, be they traditional peaceful moderate Muslims, who like the Sofie, the oldest and lest modified version of Islam, whose meditation practises and messages of universal peace, are at least as inspirational, as equally peaceful Traditional Buddhism or Hindus like Gandhi, who freed an entire and extremely populous nation, just through peaceful resistance.
Violence only ever begets more violence and along with those, who agitate for or practise it, is never ever the answer!
Nor is revenge, reprisals or imposing an entirely unprovable and extensively revised belief system, on others, by compulsion, emotional blackmail, violence or mindless force!
Religious difference is to be respected and allowed, rather than repressed or used as an excuse for mindless violence.
The oppressed or violated deserve our assistance and empathy, because they are violated or oppressed; and, not because they are a part of a religious minority, be they displaced or disliked, Christian, Jew or Muslim.
That's my clear and unequivocal position, and the true message of Traditional un-revised Islam, rather than the patent hate-filled propaganda, which tries and fails, to put words in my mouth or mischievously, mendaciously, tries to reinterpret or revise their meaning, for patent political or propaganda purposes?
