Nidal Hasan and Fort Hood: A Study in Muslim Doctrine (Part 1)
Mr.Independent,
Your assumption that only dictatorships like Saudi Arabia and Pakistan fund mosques and madrassas, needs urgent review. Even the government elected by a non-Muslim majority in the largest ‘SECULAR’ democracy in the world, India (with a 13.5% Muslim population), is seeking to ‘promote’ Islam and Muslims, to the detriment of all others, through a grossly unjust series of social, economic and political sops BASED ON RELIGION ALONE! A special Commission was set up in 2005 to ‘study’ the ‘deplorable’ condition of Muslims in that country (The Sachar Commission). Their Prime Minister brazenly declared that Muslims have the ‘first right on the resources of that country’, no doubt on instructions from Italian Catholic, Sonia Maino (who is, most curiously, its de facto ruler with a personal political agenda)!!! Everyone knows, of course, that none has any love lost for so cantankerous and hostile a community as the Muslims, but their rapidly growing numbers (they DO breed like rabbits!) figure in political calculations for short term electoral gains. The non-Muslim polity in India, like elsewhere, are Islam’s Useful Idiots…THAT is where the problem lies, I think.
