Posted by MutantMandias Yup, I agree, all religion, no matter what good intentions are involved, is ultimately used as a tool to destroy people. I approve the kicking all religious people out of America. |
Posted by blitz I agree with your first statement, but I think European colonialism has had more of an impact than Islam in regards to holding down Middle Eastern states. Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Kuwait were never colonized with European settlers or put under European mandates. Probably not a coincidence they weren't colonized and now happen to be the wealthiest Muslim majority-states. |
Posted by Soldat I think the massive oil reserves also helps. Afghanistan was never colonized, and that place has sucked forever. |
