Actually Fmeh... read up on Islam in general... Democracy for example was (and in the unbastardized version of Islam still should be) a basic tenet of Islam. also, oddly enough, Freedom of speech is an other tenet of the Koran. (I'll get the passages a bit later, I'm dashing off for now) a quick look yourself you'll find it pretty quickly.
Sadly, the crazys got hold of power.. as they have everywhere.. and used obscure lines from it to justify all these repressive rules...
another thing: Unjust killing is not rewarded by Allah and suicide bombings are unjust in the eyes of the vast majority of Muslims on the planet..
it Doesnt take long to find these truths. |
And then read up about the West Bank apartheid that Israel is conducting against Palestinians. And how the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are treated like shit.
And make sure it's a book published outside of the US, because you won't get an accurate or unbiased representation here.
