Moderate Muslim, you basically seem to agree with me that Muslim countries would not condemn other Muslim countries for atrocities committted by them when you cite the case of Shias, Kurds and Kuwaities condemning Saddam. Why do you forget these people were brutalized by Saddam - Kurdish genocide was conducted with poison gas, Shias in Iraq were systematically exterminated, Kuwait was attacked and thusands were murdered,. These people are of course going to denounce Saddam.

But prior to the attack on Kuwait, Saudis did not say anythin, just like the OIC. When Saudis saw they were in danger of being taken over by Saddam, they joined the alliance to remove Saddam from Kuwait.You can't justify what Sunnis and Shias are doing in Iraq right nowin the name of insurgency. They are killing 100 to 200 innocent men, women, children by suicide bombing everyday. Mind you, these are the Muslims they are killing!!!! Are other Muslim countries telling these guys to stop this atrocitis??? No, they are as usual blaming USA, as if everything will be peaceful if USA left Iraq today. Nothing is farther from truth, ig USA left Iraq today, there would be a worse bloodbath than the present bombings and killings by insurgents. If left to themselves insurgents will totally destroy Iraq just like the Taliban destroyed Afganistan.

What is Muslim world doing to stop genocide in Darfur region of Sudan??? The jinjaweed militia and the Sudanese army has killed hundreds of thousand black African citizens of Sudan in last 3 or 4 years, basically raped every women in this region, burned houses and their livelyhood, killed and maimed children. They are committing every conceivable atrocity on these poor people, as if they have no right to live!!! And the response from Muslim world. Nothing!! They don't want to meddle in internal affairs of Sudan; what a lame excuse!!!

As I said earlier, Muslims won't condemn other Muslims, this is true.
