What J.O.M., like the Rwandan self appointed dictators? Ditto Somalia?
Rhrosty.

I find this whole mess the world is in very frustrating.

By not trying to assist those African or Middle East countries that have declined into dreadful civil wars, followed by droughts and famine, we now have the almost impossible situation of 400, 000 refuges having made it to Europe from those countries this year alone - according to the ABC news. Many others died trying to sail to Europe.

Western countries have refused to help those unfortunate warring countries at their own peril, and now the world is left with massive numbers of refugee consequences.
I don't know what the answer is, but I am glad I don't live in Italy or Greece right now.
They were already in enough financial trouble before having to deal with the refugee crisis across the ocean.

J.O.M. I find your assertions absolutely and entirely unconvincing, given the oppressed are just never consulted by their oppressor, and then when they are? If ever, 50% of them simply have no say!

The never ever defeated mujahedin fought against a superiorly armed and equipped enemy to avoid (the longed for oppression)!

And the Arab spring refutes as inpossible to misinterpret action, everything you say!

Simply mindlessly parroting what the oppressors assert, in no way somehow makes it true no matter how loudly and aggressive they/you bellow?

Your criminal/like minded fellow travelers in the Taliban, even tried to repress dissent by shooting an unarmed young school girl with a mind and thoughts of her own, in the head, to try and shut her up.

But not only failed dismally, but ensured she gained a martyr's world wide audience for her views! Which by the way replicate mine!

You have a nice day now y'hear.
Rhrosty.

I agree with HASBEEN on this issue. SUSEONLINE has also put it correctly when she opined '...I find this whole mess this world is in very frustrating...' ? So do I.

I often thought if only we (the West) could target those at the top, who're are causing all this misery when millions of their fellow countrymen and women wish to flee, often taking their very lives in their hands in doing so ? No doubt the world's a mess and somewhere behind this massive mess, lies ISLAM !

O Sung Wu, it takes two opposing sides to make a civil war, so I think the non-Muslims in the warring countries appear to be giving as good as they get, don't you?

Humans of any colour or creed tend to be greedy, wanting more land/minerals/oil/whatever, than they have.
So blaming Islam is not really enough is it?

The Vietnamese, Korean, Cold War, and Irish conflicts didn't involve Islam, and neither did either of the world wars either, as far as I know?
People died terribly, just the same.

Hi there SUSEONLINE...

There are elements of legitimacy in what you say, apropos human greed, notwithstanding any religious or cultural significance ? Still I can't help wondering whereever there're Muslims there's trouble ? Even within the very epicentre of the Islamic religion, Saudi Arabia, there's much bloodshed in the form of public executions usually held in the main City Square, in Riyadh. Many of these executions are in the name of Islam itself, against innocent men and women who 'dared' to commit some innocent infraction within the view or hearing of the feared 'Religious Police'.

I've no doubt there are many decent, good people who are practicing Muslims. It's not them we should fear, it's the faceless zealots who commit these barbarous acts invoking the Islamic Sharia laws as justification. Some insignificant Imam's only needs to get his knickers in a knot over some minor matter and he goes of his head directing all and sundry to take some imaginary Sharia action, against the hapless individual ? I couldn't imagine anything worse than living in a Muslim country. Always nervous about a knock on the door, anytime day or night, and a contingent of religious police carting you or yours off, to who knows where ? It's a worry for sure.
