I bet a billion dollars that YOU DON'T HAVE EVIDENCE of the OPPOSITE!

I don't need your money especially through some betting. Gambling is prohibited in Bible and Taurah as well.

However, Western countries bringing democracy to Islamic lands like Iraq, Afghanistan and perhaps Iran too. And that democracy import process is painful for these societies. Current death toll has already crossed half million during these operations.

Go to YouTube and search for atrocities. Everything is so on the surface. You don't have to dig down deep.

However from history, I know rise and fall of nations happens like this that dominant power expand its philosophical frontiers. Some forces are brutal, some are just. And short is the life of this world and ever lasting is here after.

I also think, interest based economy and democracy being fake ideas (i.e. not harmonious to human bodies and soul at large) will die their natural death soon.

Again please understand that I am no way a fan of unjust may it be commited by my beloved brother or any non-Muslim.
