Islam needs to be changed

Dear Debanjan Banerjee, your examples of failure of the western models in Muslim-majority nations actually prove my point and not yours. Thanks plenty for those examples.

If the western model works in Buddhist majority far-east, in Hindu majority India, Christian majority West, and communist majority China but it does not work in Muslim majority everywhere, then it is Islam that is at fault and needs to be changed. That is what we, the free and tolerant people of the world, are trying to convince the Muslims.

Islam's failings are posted on all walls. You just have to read them. Yesterday, I had the good fortune of reading the story of Muhammad, Ali, Fatima, and AbuBakr. It is amazing to see how Islam's inflexibility and intolerance led to centuries of misfortune. Just read it. The same mess is still going on.
