Why are most of the Muslims.......

I did not join in the chorus of getting rid of Saddam.

What I said was: Ask an Iraqi if he/she would rather continue with the democracy they have now or go back to Sadam's rule.  Which do you think he/she would choose?

I have never supported nor will ever support having gone into Iraq.

 

Bin Laden is the primary cause of the mess in Mesopotamia. The US
avoided retaliatory attacks on the USS Cole and the embassies in Africa,
both of which bin Laden took "credit" for.

The attack on Afghanistan after 9/11 was the last straw. Removing
Saddam was underplanned and oversold, but I don't think anyone misses
Saddam.

The problem TODAY is the civil war. The US is not going to pass out
reconstruction money to al-Qaeda, and a US inspired government is
temporary at best. Iraq needs to get these so-called insurgents out of
there, put up withh the fact that the US is going to have an influence
during reconstruction, and develop a political system that will be able to
take over in five years.

If everybody would just stop with the hindsight and idiot-logical
posturing maybe the problem could just get fixed. We need pragmatism
- good people are being killed and thieves on both sides are getting rich.

Iraq needs major, peaceful protest on the ground in Baghdad. If the
Saudis can organize the Hajj they can organize this too.

A democratically elected government should be accepted by everyone isn't it Liberty? But when the super power who "champions" for democracy in the Middle East, does not want to accept the democratic choice of the people of Palestine, do you think the dicatorial regimes of many decades will embrace whatever your country imposes upon them? The world is truly tired of big brother. You may not understand this especially because even the press there seems to be very much in control of the government. The documentaries I have seen about the US here re-confirm my repulsion of that country. And it is hard to come across anyone in other countries who would speak one good thing about your government.

And what is wrong with having its laws determined in accordance with the Qur'an? There is no crime, no prostitution, no nudity on the streets of Saudi Arabia and that is what Muslims who like modesty and decency like to see.

Liberty, first of all in Islam there is no forced conversion. One conveys the message and that is it. It is upto the individual to take it or leave it. Where Shariah Law is concerned  - not everything will be applicable to non_muslims. Only social laws such as dress code, behaviour, punishments for certain crimes such as theft etc are those that would apply. I am not an expert at Shariah law, but I am aware that in the past where Shariah law was prevalent, non-Muslims received protection from the state and were happy. 

Not all sins are punishable by death. I would certainly like to live in a place where there is no crime and no prostitution, would'nt you? We wouldn't have to worry about our children walking home from school alone, teenagers returning home late and school kids going on shooting rampages etc. Every system has its advantages and disadvantages. To rule out one to the exclusion of the prevalent is a folly, especially knowing well the high crime rate and deterioration of morality that is today.
