Did they not proceed along fundamentalist, tribal lines?<BR/><BR/>The exception was Egypt, where Mubarek abruptly stopped any pretense of a democratic election. If he hadn't the Muslim Brotherhood would be in charge there now.<BR/><BR/>As for the hardworking moderate Muslims we both know, I again refer you to my 20-60-20 formulae.<BR/><BR/>Or even better..find some Armenian Christians, Jews or Bah'ais who were forced to leave Iran after the revolution and listen to what they tell you about how many of their tolerant and peaceful Muslim friends changed once Iran became an Islamic republic under sharia.<BR/><BR/>You also, I'm sure, have the common sense to realize that many of the Muslims who left to come here voted with their feet.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, the wahabi fundamentalist mosques also eventually followed them here. And THAT'S the problem, right there.<BR/><BR/>We also have to face the simple fact that many Muslims overseas simply do not want what we want. They want jihad and to submit to fundamentalist Islam.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, as always for dropping by..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16816866.post-2209421111035058832007-04-13T20:20:00.000-07:002007-04-13T20:20:00.000-07:00FF, I still don't understand why you continue to i...FF, I still don't understand why you continue to insist that most Muslims don't want liberty, prosperity, and the respect for human rights that come with modernization. All one needs to do is to examine the massive millions who have emigrated from their home nations to the West in order to improve their lives over here. Or the hundreds of thousands in Iraq and Afghanistan who have joined the police and military forces of those countries, and are risking their lives alongside our guys.<BR/><BR/>There is definetely a problem within Islam, an ideology that spreads hate and intolerance towards non-Muslims. I think most of it has to do with Saudi funding of radical mosques and their training of radical clerics. I'm personally acquainted with quite a few Muslims, and they are far from being religous fanatics. I think the majority of Muslims are loyal, hardworking people. I see no reason why the Muslims we have here are much different than the ones in the middle east.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16816866.post-2830829671300821352007-04-13T17:56:00.000-07:002007-04-13T17:56:00.000-07:00i wonder if this speech was vetted by the group of...i wonder if this speech was vetted by the group of 14.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
