The following was an excellent and informative news article. The biggest injustice against Muslims today is undertaken by the Muslim governments against their own kin. Of the more than 50 Muslim countries in the world only three have true democratic governments - Turkey, Bangladesh and Malaysia. Of the many Arab and Muslim friends that I have, I notice they are very articulate and intelligent. But they appear to be paralyzed in thought and action when it comes to facing their own. It is unconscionable that the prior Afghanistan Government should have destroyed the Buddhist statues of the sixth century BCE while the rest of the Muslim (and Christian) world just stood-by. There is absolutely no rationale for functioning monarchies in the 21t century appointing their kin as Prime ministers. Similarly, there is no rational basis for the Arab countries not to give citizenship to the people who live, work and give their blood and life for the place. They should at least give citizenship to other Arabs and Muslims. That should be a first place to start fighting for justice for the Arabs. Regards GL Muslim-Christian Unity need of the hour: MUSLIMS and Christians have to jointly fight against the injustices perpetrated against Palestinians and Iraqis, noted Islamic scholar Sheikh Dr Yusuf al-Qaradawi said. Dr Qaradawi was speaking to a Catholic delegation from Vatican, who visited him yesterday along with Public Health Minister HE Dr Hajar Ahmed Hajar, at the Hamad Hospital, where he is recovering from a surgery. _______________________________________________ Goanet mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.goanet.org/mailman/listinfo/goanet
