Reader comment on item: The Roots of Iraq's Rebellion
Submitted by E. Darwish (Canada), Apr 15, 2004 at 14:13
Mr.Bill sweeney wrote that Islam and democracy like oil and water,but thats not true .Please dont accuse anyone or any thing befor you Know it. Can you talk about chemistry without studying it?
If Saddam Hussain has distroyed Iraq, and Usama bin ladin has attacted USA ,it doesnt mean that Islam did that.
Talk about Islam what ever you like,but after you know it.
If anybody wants to know about Islam ,just e-mail me.
