STUPIDITY and LITERACY; two different entities
Reader comment on item: [The Need to Name and] Know Thy Terrorists
in response to reader comment: rebuttal to answer to "educate yourself"
Submitted by Lanre (United Kingdom), Dec 20, 2013 at 22:17
Are the islamic communities the only illiterates who cannot educate themselves in the world? Why are all the problems encountered presently in the world now coming from them. Most muslims claims that allah never instructed killing and destruction, why then did Prophet Mohamed kill. Am not surprised at many islamic nations attitude towards destruction of lives and properties because its simply the lifestyle of the instigator of the so-called religion of peace "MOHAMED".
