How would sending them more money change their belief that females and non Muslims are inferior?

 

Probably in the the same, or a very similar way that we aided anti-communist groups around the world during the Cold War. So how would you help her to change her country and other countries in which Islam is dominant?

[Rupert_Baehr]

It's complicated in Pakistan's case because they are fighting the Taliban on their border with Afghanistan and a lot of the aid is linked to that.

 

So they say.

 

Wasn't Old Sammy Bin Liner something to do with the Taleban?

Undoubtedly there are factions within Pakistan that support the Taliban, which complicates matters even further in regards to our aid, but the Pakistan armed forces casualties are recorded as being over ten thousand.

I was wondering what gives anyone the right to change other countries in which Islam is dominant? Part of the "problem" seems to be that certain countries where Islam is dominant do not want western "interference".

I think that your argument may hold weight in regards to democracies that follow the rule of law for their own citizens.

But how many Islamic countries are democratic?

U.S. Aid to Anti-Communist Rebels.

 

Time and again we've aided those around the world struggling for freedom, democracy, independence and liberation from tyranny.

 

 

Seams we are in agreement, that's what I was thinking.

[Plain Talker]

 

extremist

A person who holds extreme or fanatical political or religious views.

fanatical

Filled with excessive and single-minded zeal.

 

That would include the vast majority of Muslims.

 

So as I said the majority of Muslims will think she is a poor example of a Muslim, because if the majority thought the way she thinks then we wouldn't really be having a discussion about the lack of education of women and children within Islamic countries.

 

your arrogence really is breathtaking

 

Maxmaximus, you are either being disingenuous, wilfully ignorant, or wilfully rabble rousing. Which one is it?

 

As Mel says , your arrogance is, indeed, breathtaking as is your paucity in understanding.

 

The vast majority of Muslims are peaceable. We aren't "fanatics", and we aren't terrorists nor do we support terrorism. Not that the comprehension of such facts would mean a deal to you.

Non of the above.

I understand Islam, and Islam is extremism, an ideology perpetuated by violence and misinformation since its inception, it must therefor follow that its followers are extremists or victims of it.

Fanatics

A person filled with excessive and single-minded zeal, esp. for an extreme religious or political cause.

You can't possibly describe Islam as non fanatical, women cover head to toe because they believe it is the wish of God, using a book whiten by men 1400 years ago as instructions on how to live ones life would fall under the category of fanatical.

 

Terrorism, one mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter, Muslims support what they describe as freedom fighters, but we call terrorists.

 

Islamic terrorism is a form of religious warfare that goes all the way back to its inception. When a Muslim kills a Non-Muslim for the religious reasons of Jihad, whether he acted alone or as the member of a large cell, the act cannot be divorced from its goals for the larger Islamic community. Islamic terrorism is a communal activity that takes place within the context of an Islamic manifest destiny. He does not kill for himself, he takes the lives of others and offers his own life in the name of a historical idea of theocracy and supremacy.

All of the above..and more

Why are you quoting Islam in response to PT's point about Muslims?
