There were three men competing to see who was the worst one in the world.
The first one attacked a woman, beat her until her teeth fell out and she
bled from her nose and ears. He beat her so savagely that she fainted.
He turned to the others and said, "I am the worst one of all."

The second man stepped up to rape her and beat her further until she was
almost dead.
He turned to the others and said, "No one can be worse than me."

The third one stepped up, smiled coldly, and said, "No, I am the worst one
even though I just stood by and watched, because this woman is my sister."

The woman is Iraq.
The first man is Saddam.
The second is the West.
The third is the Muslim world that stood by and did nothing.

Very unexpected conclusion nana. I like the threads you opened recently in the sabla and this is one of them.

Sad enough this is true and a very interesting depiction of what is currently happening. As for the last two, it will be fair to say that it is not the western people or the muslims, but their governments. Us, individuals, have our hands tied behind our back and are unfortunately unable to take real actions.

I suppose this discussion will be moved to the Political Sabla.

thanx X-press, and feel free to move it.

well yeah how sad, what happens to our neighbour we cant even do anything to help or even if we tried still wont be enough....

That's quite moving.. So we're the worst, huh? :(

Actually, there is something we can do. Just small things that most people think are completely useless.

You can cut back on products by companies who supply the "enemy" (if you'd like to call them that) with money to buy weapons.

Just a thought. :lost:

i dont believe that all muslims just stand by and watch..infact..usually if something wrong is seen .. we interfere.

LOL Nabhan, that was an allegory of the US attack on Iraq and the whole Islamic world just watching them!! You made me laugh there Nabby :p

Besides, isn't that true? I still remember that 'All Arab council' meeting where 2 people ended up cursing each other's moustaches and calling each other dog and cat!! How lame! :o

Nana,

It is Sad but very True

I think this so so true
In general that is
Although there are so many that help out in all kinds of different ways, but the overall Muslim Society and countries are watching our fellow muslims, doing nothing, as if it was a movie or something.
It's so shamefull walla......

I supported the war on iraq so i disagree with u miss nana power.
n e wayz what can muslims do? grab a machinegun and shoot a couple of americans :shoot:

well qais, your disagreement with me wont change the truth. and wont make any diferrence.

Very impressing nana..did you write that by yourself?

It really tells what are we going through..the big question here..is there gonna be another glorious muslim era?:lost:

nana

That's true Noble Man, that USA has been in the making of all these, But dont you think we Arabs Too should be in the same basket as USA and UK? :angre: , Because we helped USA, we gave her our land, sea, and Air to Kill our Innocent Muslim arabs Iraq..:weep: If they were any Judgement right now to send USA to hell fire for what they have done in Iraq, For Sure we All Arab we will be Joining USA into that Hell Fire..

wellinfact we should be the first to be blamed for the whole thing because we let it happen anyway,

The woman is Iraq.
The first man is Saddam.
The second is the Muslim world that stood by and did nothing.
The third is the West that stepped up and put a stop to it.

Strange how we watch the same show, but come away from the movie with totally different account of the plot and ending.

This is sad, yet true. But I must say that there are many people out there who'd love to put an end to all of this but simply have nothing to stand against everyone, all they can do is protest!
