Would you rather be a Muslim in a Hindu society or a Hindu in a Muslim society? I posed the question to a Muslim talk-radio caller this weekend. He claimed the Hindus have it better among Muslims. I guess he has never heard of Bangladesh. Afterwards, I wondered if I had posed the right question. More to the point is the query: Would you feel freer as a Muslim in a Muslim society or a Muslim in a Hindu society?

The massacre in India by Pakistani terrorists, who clearly weren't satisfied by the partition of India sixty-one-years ago to create a separate state for Muslims, is unparalelled by examples of Christians, Jews, or Hindus committing mass slaughter against Muslims in any Muslim nation. Where do Muslims get along with others? When in the minority--in Israel, in India, in Nigeria--Muslims, with some regularity, murder people of differing faiths. When in the majority--in Sudan, in Egypt, in Afghanistan--they murder people of differing faiths. The tolerance Muslims demand when in the minority is rarely extended to religious minorities once Muslims are in the majority.

What makes the bold Bombay attacks on unarmed civilians perhaps more significant than other similar attacks is that they involved an organization believed to be sponsored in the past by Pakistani intelligence and that the parties involved--Pakistan and India--both possess nuclear weapons. Add to this the fact that Pakistan is one of the largest recipients of U.S. aid. Naturally, when one engages in a war on terror--or a war on the mafia, or a war on communism, or a war on fascism--one necessarily crosses paths with unsavory people. But at what point does buying off criminal elements become a crime itself? In other words, when money used to prevent terrorism shows no progress on that front, and when there are questions about whether the recipient of that money actually funds terrorism, it may be time to rethink the foreign aid policy.

Some would say America's invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan are "mass slaughters" of Muslims by predominantly Christian nations.

'Some would say America's invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan are "mass slaughters" of Muslims by predominantly Christian nations.'

If that’s not a joke, it’s at least a preposterous statement.

Wonder which way the holder of “The Office of the President-Elect” will go on this stuff?....

"You're absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith," Obama.

'Some would say America's invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan are "mass slaughters" of Muslims by predominantly Christian nations.'

And some people are idiots and should keep their mouths shut especially when they don't know what they are talking about.

A little civics lesson here; O is not yet the President-Elect until the Electoral College votes this month to make him so and Congress approves it. He is now the President Presumptive.

And then in January, he will place his left hand on the Bible, raise his right hand and swear the following oath to a document that he has referred to as a charter of negative liberties....

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States."

What would ALEX say, and how would he justify the comparison?

Dan- you sir,are correct with your assumption.

In those cities as well as many others, you have an abundance of willing and capable ordinary citizens, who would be more than willing participants to grant any and all Islamic barbarians, who wish to set up their terrorist shop in their locale.

Their shelf life would be very short and most likely have a very violent end.
On the bright side of things for the barbarians, they will have their wish of dying as a "martyr" gladly granted.

Alex- that is the most ridiculous statement that I have read or heard ourtside of western Europe.
The old single bullet theory, the USA is responsible for all the worlds problems.
Memo to you: if your instructor in college or high school told you this, they lied. Then again what can you expect with the low quality of today's college professors, those dimwits still believe in Marxism as well as believing they were close to creating a utopia on earth, if the evil USA would have only allowed them to kill a few million more innocent civilians.
Alex- Marxism is dead and the propoganda they spewed to all the 60's era losers, was nothing but destructive fantasies or sick minds as well as outright lies. The 60's era losers still don't get it, the commies used them as their mascots or useful idiots.
