BF2S Forums America cares more about Muslims than Muslims do

These countries base their laws, government, and societies on Islam.  I am not talking about just one country, all the Islamic countries.  What is their record for killing neighbors vs helping neighbors?  I do assume there is a Muslim Majority in all the Islamic countries in the Middle East, so why would the governments and the countries actions not reflect on Islam?

Cultural it would seem. Imagine a world in which we all abided by the Jeffersonian idea:

"The Jeffersonian idea has ever been that there shall be no king; that the sovereign ruler should be placed on the same level and be judged by the same principles as the humblest citizen; that the lords of the manors are entitled to no more privileges than the poorest peasant; that these rights are inalienable, and that any government which disregards them must of necessity be tyrannical."

I would love that, but the only way that would happen is if we had a worldwide socialistic capitalistic economy with either one world government or multiple governments with trustworthy people running them.

In other words, it'll never happen....

There have been pockets of it throughout history. Human nature ensures that it never last though .

" Despite being surrounded by petroleum-rich neighbors, Egypt is suffering the effects of record-high oil prices that have touched off deadly riots over the simplest of commodities: bread.

Since the beginning of April, at least 10 people have been stabbed to death while waiting in Cairo bread lines — others have died from exhaustion.

The crisis comes as the U.N.’s World Food Program appeals to member nations to contribute $750 million for aid to affected countries.

But as FOX News reported last week, internal documents from the WFP show a failure by OPEC nations to help out their Arab neighbor. Saudi Arabia, for instance, has committed to give zero dollars for 2008, while the United Arab Emirates has pledged just $50,000 — an amount several times less than impoverished nations like Bangladesh.

The United States leads all donors at more than a $1 billion.

Egypt, the world's largest importer of wheat, heavily subsidizes the sale of flour. Government flour sells for about $3 per 100 pounds. On the black market, however, that same bag can fetch $45.

Unlike other Arab nations awash in petrodollars, almost half of Egypt’s population gets by on less than $2 a day — and for an estimated 30 million people, bread means everything.

For now, the Army has been called out — to bake and distribute the bread. "


This in the most dedicated, strict, and rich Islamic part of the world.  What say you oh great defenders of Islam who claim the religion isn't just mental disorder.  Remind me again what the redeeming qualities of Islam are again?

What the fuck has religion got to do with this, pray tell....?

Egypt is surrounded by countries that are 90% + Muslim, many of which are rich from oil, yet it seems that the US is more willing to help the citizens of that country than the Islamic countries that neighbor it.

I hope that clears it up for you Cameron because I know how hard reading can be on you sometimes.
