Re: Hitchens should lay off the Muslims and end up his brays

Holy snowman,

The point was being made to refute Greenwich's (implied) assertion that non-Muslims were equivalent to Muslims in Muslim-controlled countries which you chose to conveniently ignore.

First of all, this was a modest participation aiming to add something to this issue. Second, my point is in the heart of the matter since we talk about the suffering people from different religious backgrounds and who have to coexist in the same areas. Third, this issue has only been raised as an incitement to more hatred. Let's examine these, step by step.

1- Ex-Yugoslavia (Europe): Bosnians and non-Muslims cleansings.

2- Armenia (Europe): Turkish "Muslims" sectarians and non-Muslims cleansings.

3- Rwanda (Africa) :ethnic and non-Muslims massacre.

4- Kurdistan :(bordering Turkey, Iraq and Syria)and their lost Home.

5- Israel: Arabs Palestinians being treated as 2nd class Humans by non-Muslims.

6- India: Moslems being minority are conveniently treated by Sikhs who are by the way non-Moslems.

7- China and Buddha's disciples who are oppressed by non-Moslems.

Now let's see how things are in certain Islamic Countries and how different religious minorities are treated.

A/ Saudi Arabia for Moslems is to be compared to the Vatican for the Christians. No room for other religions.

B/ Egypt: Copts represent what's considered as Egypt elite.

C/ Lebanon: No problem between different religious entities.

D/ / Morocco: all I know is that the three religions are mutually respected.

E/ Iran: Never heard about such problems.

F/ Syria: Sorry I know nothing about its minorities.

Etc.…
