cnn.com Non-Islamic countries are 3 times more likely to espouse freedom than Islamic countries. Why is that? Is there something endemically intolerant about the Islamic religion? Why are Islamic governments afraid of giving the common man a voice? Are they afraid that the common man will want the inalienable rights that the rest of the world enjoys? Again, I say to Arabs and Islamic people all over the world, open up your eyes! Life doesn't have to be all about suffering and death. Life can be so beautiful, if people will stop putting up with death- and terror-based regimes. However, it starts with respecting life in general. Martyrdom that results in the death of innocents is selfish and evil. It's not the path to salvation that many Islamic clerics will have you believe. What is it about Thou Shalt Not Kill that you don't understand?
