Tolerance and respecting Islam
Reader comment on item: 100 Bin Ladens on the Way?
Submitted by John Berg (United States), Apr 8, 2003 at 11:41
D. Pipes writes, "Islam: Respecting Iraqi ways, especially their religion, will reduce apprehensions about the war being a crusade.But will Islam teach tolerance so Kurds, Sunnis, and Shiites can live together? And will "freedom of religion" be a human right in Iraq? And will Muslims insist on shariah?
Judging by the plans for the oil income of Iraq, greed will be the more important universal vice for which to plan.
