|

There are millions of atheists in Islamic countries who are living in fear and are not able to express their views because of Islamic terror to kill and behead anyone who leaves Islam or critisizes it.
How the world can change this brutality in Islamic countries? |

They should stand together and fight islam. Or move off to a section that has the least amount of Sand-Nigs (yeah I said it!!) and leave a more peaceful existence. Sadly them sub-animals are too stupid and violent to let anything, even themselves, live in peace so something needs to be done about it and sadly it's going to include a lot of blood on the ground. _________________

I am afraid that it is only Muslims that can make the change.
Non Muslims cannot and should not interfere in Islamic reformation as it will be received with hostility.
However, since the Quran is the uncreated, immutable word of Allah, any change is questionable.
Everybody is talking about the "moderate" Muslim majority, but they are unable (or unwilling?) to oppose the "Tiny Minority TM" of extremist, who really just putting Islamic doctrine into practice.
I wonder what is your opinion on the "moderate" Muslims, since you are from an Islamic country.
The only way there can be any sort of "reform" is to separate religion from the state.
But, religion is the only source of power the despotic rulers have. Mohammad made sure of that. _________________ "Orwell was a visionary. He just got the date wrong." |

Muslims had their shot at change and they selected themselves for extinction. The only way to change these islamic countries is a massive invasion greater than the Bush scale. At first it should be peaceful'ish, just massive amounts of millions of people moving into islamic countries and taking it over through real estate and political advantage. Then military power should decrease the amount of extremists in existence by finding them and exterminating them through jail and or death if need be, but knowing them, it will have to be. But jail should work just as fine.
Then the moderates that actually ARE moderates and not the moderates that only call themselves moderates but are still extremists, will be able to adapt to the new life and civilization and the islamic countries can be better than they are now. Doesn't have to be a democracy but it will never be a theocracy again. _________________

i disagree, i would be very much against any invasion in any islamic countries,
that would lead to more extremist and be of help to absolutly no one, its upto the people who live in the islamic states to change their country
plus do you have any idea how many countries have a majority muslim community, an invasion would be near enough impossible

Either way these are all just speculation. We already know it's probably going to end up with the rest of the world turning islamic countries into a black smudge on the global map. That was their choice, not ours.
pessimistic yes, but I just have no hope for muslims. And I don't care if they go extinct with their religion. The non-muslim arabs will continue a better lineage than the towel headed gun-lickers. _________________

Muslims are Muslims, whether moderate or extremists, they don't want to change their society because then they will have to free women and let the minorities live their own life. The Muslims want women and minorities to be enslaved and subjogate the poors then call it 'the will of the God'.
The only way is a real democracy and secularism through education which can defeat extremism and the cruel rule of the mullahs. |

How the world can change this brutality in Islamic countries? |
As far as what people in non-Muslim countries can do, we can get our governments to stop interfering in the internal affairs of Muslim countries. The results are almost always negative. In Afghanistan, Algeria, Palestine, Syria, Iraq, and Egypt, at one point or another, the U.S. and other Western powers have played an important role in undermining secular governments and movements. Even when our government supports secular regimes in Muslim states, they tend to be corrupt and authoritarian governments, which cause a religious and anti-American backlash, like in Egypt, Iraq and Iran.
We need to encourage our governments to stay the fuck out of these countries' business, so that they will have the opportunity to develop socially and politically without otuside interference. History shows that imperialism completely deforms the evolution of societies in colonial/neocolonial vassal states.
As far as what people from Muslim countries can do, they can build a secular movement that will actually improve people's lives and freedoms. The failure of previous secular movements in Muslim countries (such as Baathism, Arab Socialism, Communism and Pan-Arabism) to improve the lives of the people, combined with Western meddling and capitalist exploitation, has opened the door to religious reaction. Secularization in the Muslim world was on a pretty steady march from the mid-19th century Ottoman Empire up to the early 1970s. It wasn't until the 80s until things started regressing and not until the 90s when the corner was completely turned. |

Addressing the minority segment of the overall Muslim world that is the Middle East, it seems the blame game lets the oppressive regimes of the Middle East off the hook. While western powers have no doubt contributed to misery in that part of the world, the victim mentality is a dead end from their side of the situation. It is precisely the lack of freedom - be it freedom for women, economic freedom, freedom from tyranny of all sorts-that impedes progress. The road to robust democracy was long and full of obstacles and setbacks in the western experience. Perhaps a start down that road is the only hope for that region, but it needs to be at least mostly an inside job.
Singapore and Hong Kong were once victims of colonialism. While Singapore is quite oppressive on the civil liberty front at least the standard of living is high and they produce few suicide bombers.
What has independence from western powers alone actually produced in the Muslim world? The overwhelming majority of Muslims live in independent states-many or most are quite oppressive. _________________ The path of least resistance and least trouble is a mental rut already made. It requires troublesome work to undertake the alternation of old beliefs.

The influence of Western states does not end with independence. Meddling still occurs. Socialists call it "neocolonialism" or "imperialism". Capitalists call it "foreign policy". Afghanistan is the best example, though not the only one by a long shot-- our government did everything it could short of a full-scale military intervention to violently wreck a secular government and support its religious extremist opponents and helped create a disciplined, trained and organized global network of Islamic extremists in the process. Political independence was irrelevant.
And to acknowledge these facts is not to let Muslims themselves off the hook or "play the blame game", but simply for those of us in the West to recognize our governments' meddling often does more harm than good. Put the primary blame on whoever you want it won't change the fact that the Western governments' foreign policies in that part of the world for many, many decades, pre and post colonialism has been downright destructive at worst and counterproductive or ineffective at best. Time to save some fuckin money best used for other shit and stop funding this imperialist bullshit that is creating Frankenstein's Monsters faster than it can smite them down. |

Of course there is still meddling and there is no harm, and in fact great honesty, in western powers acknowledging their historic and to a lesser extent modern influence on the region. The oppressive regimes of the Middle East and elsewhere in the Muslim world do benefit from the "blame game" however, as the focus is easily shifted from their own policies and failed records to the west, mainly today, the U.S. . I do not support the war in Iraq and I do not support meddling in the affairs of these countries, but the only hope for the future seems to lie in Middle Easterners asking " how do we get this right?'. In the least we should not impede their progress toward greater freedoms of all sorts. _________________ The path of least resistance and least trouble is a mental rut already made.
