To janjua : I don't also like N. Mandela.

Dear Janjua,

I don't like the way M. Teresa treated people. This is my personal view. You might share or not. It has nothing to do with religion. I explained why I didn't like her. If someone give me a plausible reason why she was telling dying patient "Jesus is kissing you" I could change my mind easily. I don't also like N. Mandela. His nation still dies from AIDS while he travels with his private plane. There were no black people in Olympic team of S. Africa in Torino, if I remember correctly. He is not hero for me, sorry. I don't wash my brain with the news-lines of media.

If people have difficulty in carrying religious books they can use internet. There are many websites providing on line Bibles. If you ask my opinion Bibles should be distributed in all Muslims countries. I want Muslims to read Genesis to learn that God ate cake with Abraham.
It is ridiculous.

Europe which is multicultural continent is in identity crises. First we watched French Riots, then Danish cartoon came next. These are not a coincidence at all. European states have problems with their own citizens, Those people are either 2nd or 3rd generations. They just ask for jobs and education, not an Islamic state. The cartoon controversy is just the tip of an iceberg, Europeans are very racist. They hate foreigners. Instead of solving their own internal immigrant problems they prefer spreading anger among the Muslim with their irresponsible and ignorant press.

I learned from an article that "Last year, a You GovPoll for the Commission of Racial Equality in Britain revealed that 83% of white Britons have no friends who are practising Muslims and that 94% say that they do not have any friends from outside their white communities. (Europe should accept its Muslims, Soumaya Ghannoushi, University of London ) 2.3 % of UK population is Muslim. This is the typical situation in Europe. I have good British friends. I prefer working with them. I was very surprised and sad to learn that 7/7 is done by British citizens.

All Muslims pay the price for internal immigrant problems of Non-Muslim countries, That's unfair. Politicians should stop both violent actions in Muslim countries and offensive prints in Europe. Solution is simple and straightforward. It is up to them to finish it. We will see.
