| #3 I'm starting to think that Islam is the greatest killer of Muslims around the world. Actually the Pakistani Army has killed more Muslims ( > 1 million ) than any other entity in recent times. No whining about this from other Muslims though... once the killers are Muslim, there is no manufactured rage and protest. The vitims were a lower category of Muslim as well, not Arab, not Central Asian, not Persian. The Bengalis were "short and dark and ate rice" while their Punjabi killers were "Tall and Fair and ate wheat". Lahore matrons were heard to tut-tut over the reports of mass rape committed by the Pakistani troops... "at least the babies will be fair skinned". |
