May be sometimes my emotions overcome my intellects and I get rude but even in this situation I still think that Americans are responsible for many agonizing events in the world. We hold US responsible because it is a superpower right now. Governs many matters of the world and influences many policies of different weak nations. Right now, Jews ...
I personally believe that whatever influence and success achieved by Jewish community is mch due to their own intellects. They gain supremacy in the field of education, technology and strengthened their commitment to their own belief. As a Muslim I believe that we lost the race because we are responsible for our own agony. The problem arises when different forces try to influence the matters of Muslim countries. Be it Afghanistan or Pakistan or Iraq. Neither WMD drama yielded any result nor the War on terror met any end.
We should understand that Islam was initially threatened and attacked by western forces. Now what we see is the aftermath of continuous aggression against Islam. When you talk about democracy you have legitimate right to follow which faith and belief you like. Ironically, democracy with extremely liberal approach was tried to be imposed on many Islamic states but people of the Muslim countries don't want western influence in their affairs although very little minority turned their lifestyle to immitate the west but their numbers are very limited.
Like in Swat, Pakistan, world should let Muslims do whatever they want and whatever they think best for them. The world should better stay away from the matters of Muslim countries now. Any exertion of influence could only aggravate the problem. Presently Talibans' Jinn should be kept in a bottle because if it spreads, it can take every country of the region by storm. No more Drones, no more attacks at tribal areas and Afghanistan and no more surgical strikes in different parts of Afghanistan and Pakistan. These action only cost nothing but loss of support and increase of hatred...
I hope the world would support my point.
