[quote="muslim-man"]do you buy everything you read on the internet?? who told u wadads bring no development and the only thing they do is ban alcohol and movies? "
-----> No, I don't buy everything that I read in internet, but I know the importance of the information. I'm a journalist and I always try to confirm the sources before writting. But you don't need to make a great research to find out what the wadaads are doing. Think of talibans and the great social progress and advanced technology they brought to Afghanistan.
"first of all, the banning of alcohol in islamic lands doesn't need the blessing of a wadad or anyone else for that matter. it's said alcohol is haraam in the qur'an and that is how it should be treated in muslim run countries."
-------->Completly agree here. Although I love alcohol.
secondly, You haven't visited mogadishu nor do u know whats going on there and therfore have no right to judge them. so zip your mouth about the wadad run mogadishu affair.
--------->I read BBC news to see what's happening. Ain't BBC a good source for you? I know some journalists from BBC (Raggeh Omar included) and they're pretty good. But you're right: I haven't been in Mogadishu in my life.
"Thirdly, pakistan is now run by an asskissing musharaf but he is in the same boat as all secular leaders in the arab world and is feeling the pressure on his neck. he will go soon inshallah and there will end the american paki ties ".
-----------> Pakistan needs the support of USA and the West in case of a conflict with India. That's the reason of its ties to USA. Pakistan in the hands of the wadaads would be a very bad deal.
"forthly, how do u know iran is not close to acquiring newclear power by now again do u buy everything they u read on the internet?"
------------>Because there are UN inspectors working in the area and stating what's really going on there. Because USA is surveilling the zone. In case there were nuclear weapons, USA would be attacking Iran.
"fifth and lastly muslims are hand tied by both their leaders and the so the so called west, suicide bombing and other methods are the only way they can inflict harm and try to bring their senses back to reality.
[/quote]"
--------> I don't see anybody here in the West tieing nobody's hands. It's the old victimism song: The West is harming us, The West is stealing us, The West is exploiting us. It's not me who's living in a big gold palace in the middle of the desert in Saudi Arabia sourrounded of Mercedes Benz and Ferraris. The own arab leaders are exploiting their own people. And you know why? Because most of muslim countries lack of something that the majority of you hate so much: democracy. With democracy, you could ask for human rights and ask for your right not to be exploited. And you could vote for Musharraf, or vote for Anti-Musharraf. Don't complain then.
And man, suicide bombing is not very effective to bring "their senses back to reality". You lose your sense, because you die. And then there's nothing else that you can do if you're dead.
