""I can tell you that no Arab nation benefits. I can tell you that no Muslim benefits ""
All this posturing that Koran does not say this or does not say that does not require any comments.
But who benefits?
Religious Leaders of the Muslims countries (we call them clerics) will lose all their power if democratic development and information (with great help from the internet) will continue to spread in the Muslim countries.
That is why they hate Israel so much: It is example of what democratic society can create on the piece of desert. For this leaders there is only one choice: stir hatred to the West or pack up (no - get killed). Clerics want West ideology out, to preserve their power – they will get it. Of course without West this countries will not be able to feed its population, but who cares? And there are time-tested methods of dealing with population growth.
