Muslim world in decline
2013-04-25
True.
[Dawn] MYANMAR is a country that is supposed to be recovering from years of dictatorial rule and moving towards democracy and an opening up to the rest of the world. It is a country with an opposition leader who has won the Nobel Prize for her struggle against dictatorship and for upholding human rights
...not to be confused with individual rights, mind you...
It is also here, however, that Buddhists are killing Moslems with the apparent complicity of government forces, most recently in the town of Meiktila. This blatant violation of human rights, duly documented in a BBC-obtained video has elicited no more of a response from Aung San Suu Kyi, than previous massacres documented and now released by the Human Rights Watch
... dedicated to bitching about human rights violations around the world...

#12  That's why I figger the Arab-Spring-Thing will ultimately be good. Short-term pain, but it will accelerate the inevitable decline.

They're declining faster than global warming.

#11  When Buddhists are targeting you for assassination, you're doing something seriously wrong.

#6  The Muslim world has been in decline since the first time a Sunni called a Shia an "apostate" or was it a Shia calling a Sunni,

Never mind, it doesn't matter, the important thing is the entire religion is based upon fear, intimidation, violence, death, and hatred. The primary writings of the religion are the ravings of a madman and sexual predator/serial killer/psychopath. What do you expect when you have a religion based on the Qran? Have you ever tried reading that thing? I was sympathetic to the Moslems until I read the thing, it is vile and is strictly a call to violence and hatred.

It is hate speech of a breath taking magnitude, making Mein Kampf look like a Weekly Reader. Never for a second doubt the true face of the religion, it is in the writings, there for all to read.

IF you read it with an open mind, you will be convinced Islam should be eradicated from the planet as soon as possible.

#4  Buddhists are killing Moslems?? ...because Moslems from neighboring Bangladesh are attacking the Buddhists, trying to take their land and take over their country. Like so many other places in the world.
When the moslems come for your country, you either fight them off or die kneeling.

#3  Decline? Since when have they ever inclined? Other than by military means, of course.

#2  It is possible that the muslim world is in decline and has been so since the 1600s. One of the questions I ask is, how much of the world will it take with it?
