Muslim Denial is the problem

I too have read the comments from all sides here, but there seems to be a serious denial of reality within the Muslim world in General.

If Muslim arab boys respect women, why do Muslim countires like Egypt top the stats when it comes to sexual harassement of women?

What I find funny, it that Muslims keep mentioning how evil the west is, and we do have murderers, rapists and pedophiles.

Western, correction, all non Muslim countries have many laws to protect the rights of women and children.

If a Chirstian Priest stood up and tried to justify having sex with a child, there would be public outrage. If in Communist China, a Government Leader stand up and say we need to get some sex slaves to keep the horny guys happy, they would be taken out and shot. If in India, a Cricket player got up and said he wants to marry and have sex with a 9 yo girl, he would be run out of the country.

Yet in Muslim countries, people defend immoral practices using Islam. In Yemen, women protested rasing the age of marriages. Saudi Arabia didnt make slavery illegal until 1963, but this was forced on them by the west. There are still millions of slaves in the Muslim world.

Yes the Christian West did have slaves, but they were usually brought off Muslim Slave Traders, and the West questioned slavery, and actively fought to not only outlaw, but actually remove it. the Muslim world have never championed human rights, only the rights of muslim males to dominate others.

Now the Muslim world is facing a big test, after years of rapid breeding, low education and subsidized food, the Muslim Countries of the North Africa, and Pakistan and and alot of the Middle East, are starting to realize that when the oil runs out, they are all going to starve.

The Muslim world may be critical of the West, but the West feeds the Muslim world, and with rapid population growth, and the oil running out, most of the Muslim world is facing starvation within the next 40 years. There are a few exeptions like Malaysia and Indonesia, but North Africa, The Middle east and the Indian sub Contenient are stuffed.

So islam is the fastest breeding religion, but how in the hell are all these ignorant poeple going to eat?

The West will pay for oil, but not for Korans. Europe is getting flooded with the Muslim youth of North Africa, who cannot live or work in their own countries, but Europe cannot take all, and there will be a progressive closing of borders to the Muslim world.

When that happens, it may dawn on the Muslim world that marrying ones first cousin, ignoring half your potential workforce, and being unproductive, and NOT EATING, is not as good as having an education, treat women as humans not baby factories and being productive might of been a better idea.

I have visited the Middle east and North Africa, and in the 1000s of years humans have been in these areas I am surprised the road are tracks, the buildings are rubbish and you dont even have proper water, hospitals or reliable electricity. What is the Muslim worlds excuse?

My country Australia is only been settle a few 100 years, but we have all these things, and we are the driest, least furtile country on earth!

Dont try and blame the west for your own laziness and stupidity. Most of the wars that have destroyed the Middle East and Nortn Africa have been between Muslims. Look at the Iran Iraq war, the invasion of Kuwait, and the numerous attempts of the Muslim world to destroy Israel. The Muslim world has killed far more Muslims than the west ever has.

The West isnt perfect, but we own alot of our faults and try and do something about it. Until Islam become a force for positive change, i am afraid it is doomed to be shunned by the world. When Islam needs to get acceptance of the world, it seems to be doing every thing it can to piss people off.

The days of Muslim expandtion is are numbered unless the Muslim world can work out how to feed its followers once the oil runs out. It just can't hope the Western world will keep feeding it or export all the hungry mouths to Europe.
