Why is it that the only nations you were prepared to compare there economic situation to were the oil rich ones? And what about actual rights and freedoms?
1. Because economic rights in poor countries are moot.
2. "Actual rights and freedoms" are worthless if you are forced to live in poverty.

See how your blind "freedom" ideology cripples your capacity for rational argument: I already reported the Imams in Oz today are calling for peace because "Allah is peace loving" (in their estimation...).
That goes straight over your head, so you condemn the entire Muslim community because of a teenage boy's uncomprehending violence, seeing himself as a "warrior of god" defending Islam.
Quote: because the Quran is the same today. How many women do you think were turned into sex slaves by ISIS?
Just as the OT's "Promised Land" is the same today, for which peace-maker PM Rabin paid with his life.
Quote:Muslims have always called for peace.
More blind ideology; like the Crusaders, some Moslems today call for 'holy war'.
Quote: What they mean is that Muslims no longer need to slaughter the infidel when everyone is living under the yoke of Islam, or that violence is only sanctioned from the proper religious authorities.
No, that's not what the Imams calling for peace today in Oz mean, where few are living under the "yoke of Islam".
Quote:No. I am sure even Chinese has the same concept of suing different words for different things. Despite the CCP's efforts to change the meaning.
What has China to do with the contradictions in democracies which arise from naturally competitive, self-interested individuals chafing under rule of law?
