Simply Mouslems have realised that they can gain more from the West by playing according to their own rules and igoring the ones of the Western world. I just mean that their real goal is to secure a place under the sun in the modern world and not to change it. 518048@blogcritics.org Wed, 24 Jan 2007 07:41:05 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/01/20/031250.php#comment-515223 Unfortunately, this book is a big apology for terrorism and a shamful validation of the victimhood/entitlement cycle that Muslims are loving. This self imposed status is the cause of Islamic demise, not the Americans or Israel. As a Muslim Palestinian, I'm fed up with these people who just attempt to justify and even excuse the conditions of Muslims. Where is accountability? Golbalization? Did he even mention Islamic globalization? How about self serving Arab leaders who gladly brough the British into the Mid East in order to overthrough the Ottomans and become the kings of Saudi, Jordan, Iraq, etc. Not to mention were only happy to devide the region so their children will have a little land as a gift, I suppose. Mr Mazrui should read the history from a self analysis stand point, because unless one changes one's self, Allah won't help. Isn't that Islamic Mr Mazrui? 515223@blogcritics.org Sat, 20 Jan 2007 07:41:48 EST
