Have you heard about the sanctions imposed on Iraq? They were allowed to sell just enough oil for buying food and that was called "oil for food" under the UN sponsored scheme. The power of oil lies in the hands of US Companies. Even the price of oil is fixed at London and New York exchanges! Better come out of the false notions.

Don't worry I do know about it but for the benefit of effected people your post will be helpful but tell me what is the solutions, how to make them understand that, it seems an herculan task as they are not only with that syndrome but they were also brainwashed fromthe birth.

Concerted efforts are required to make people understand the futility of religious dogmas. The innocent muslim youths are drawn into the vortex of conflicts by the power hungry clerics. They need some imaginary enemy to strengthen their stranglehold on the masses. They make the youth beleive that the US, Israel and India are against Islam.
We all should make our muslim friends understand that we are not against them but against the religious dogmas.
Even our muslim friends do not realize the fact that none of the "mullahs" are becoming suicide bombers. If they beleived in all those rewards awaiting in the "Paradise", they themselves would have become suicide bombers rather than making the innocent youth scape-goats.

The Quran is a book that contains contradictory verses that can be interpreted according to one's convenience.
The good muslims quote the good verses while the mullahs quote some verses that suit their convenience and instigate the impressionable youth.
The initiative for reform should come from the muslim society itself. If any one else point out to them, they will feel offended (it is applicable to other religious dogmas also - you might have seen some of the abusive messages posted by "devout" hindus against atheists and even against me personally).

I do agree with what you say, but then previously we were of the notion that literacy was the main problem but then we find even educated bums have entered into the fray.
Even for the simple fact you just talk about their religion they are not interested to know the weakness and the drawbacks. This paradise thing has got into the educated head also I believe.
I don't find it so easy to may them understand all these. I too have good well educated (Doctors engineers)converted friends even they are not rational enough when it comes to religion.
Now I am sure that even if the prophet himself comes and says that whatever he has told was rubbish (that is if at all he did that) I dont think any of these fanatics are going to accept that because the mullahs have done the damage well.
