Dear Syed

All the things you mention do go on in a democracy. It is called freedom, a simple word that many Muslims fail to understand. My sources of information are, unfortunately for your attempted rebuttal gained at first hand during many years of living and working in Muslim countries. I may add that in the majority of expatriates like myself are needed, but most definitely not wanted. Needed because while Arabs gave the world much in the past, Mathematics, and astronomy to name only two. Since the advent of Islam, they have given the world very little. in other words retrogressed, and now need foreign workers in almost every field.

I and my wife may be unusual, but neither of us have ever played around. We knew each other at school (she would have been denied that under your beloved Taliban) Then you mention several areas of conflict, and they all involve Muslims. All Muslims are therefore living in a state of repression according to you. I can believe that you really believe that because I have heard many similarly ridiculous statements from Muslims over the years However I digress, the point being that it is in reality the Muslim who cannot live alongside other faiths/nationalities/cultures.

Can tou deny that the Muslim objective is to Islamify their host country? regardless of whether or not they want to be islamified. Can you deny that it is in fact a pillar of your faith? Given that it cannot be denied, That alone makes nonsense of your claim that in the areas of conflict in the world it is the poor old Mulim who is the victim
