Muslims?

There is no policy towards Muslims nor Islam. There is only policy made for or against actions by countries who's behavior is counter to the generally accepted norm. Iran faces sanctions because it is unwilling to come to the bargaining table with open and honest transparency. Same as North Korea. And Israel has every right to counter the motives and actions of the Palestinian and if they the Palestinian want to be treated as more than a collection of terrorist and bums seeking to be supported by the rest of the world let them claim statehood and begin to take care of themselves and join the rest of the world as contributors rather a destructive force in the region. Afghanistan is a Muslim country and the west is spending billions upon billions to help them reestablish themselves. Singapore is a Muslim country and a valuable trading partner to the world. Of the 57 member states of the O.I.C. only a very few have any form of what could be considered a negative standing as to the rest of the world and that is due to their own overt actions and hostility to the west. Your accusations are groundless and uneducated.
