Our Own Worst Enemy

by Mona Eltahawy, Mona Eltahawy Blog, USA - For this Muslim, no number of Danish cartoons or Dutch films will ever be more offensive than the seven suicide attacks that have killed at least 100 in Pakistan in the past three weeks alone. No slur is as horrible as the 600 people dying in violence in Pakistan since the start of the year.

Excellent take on the fact that most Muslim countries prefer to
lament the "world's" oppression against them instead of cleaning up their own mess and introducing human rights to their citizens.
