The article would be more effective and may be of best service if it were directed to the Muslims themselves, particularly those with wealth and power. Most Muslims presently live under tyrannical and/or suppressive governments and in societies where the leaders effectively use religion for social control. Good points BF... Dictatorships are very good at the use of misdirection... If they can keep the people's focus away from the tyranny within the country by creating an enemy from without, they can hold on to their illicit power... Fidel Castro is a master at this... The Saudies and other Muslim dictatorships have used the Muslim extremists as a venting tool for the masses... Sometimes a tool can hurt the user... The time is coming when the people in those countries will no longer be fooled by the few clutching to dictatorial power... The U.S. and responsible Muslims need to do a lot of deprogramming... Jim
