Re: China vs. USA war in later this century: who should Muslims support ?
Ohioguy:
Oh Lord how times change. Wasn’t Irem crying that she could no longer get a visa to go complete studies at Stanford? Now she is saying that “Muslims should be imported bacck from the USA”, as if there are no Muslim Americans, just visitors?
And, by the way, every university in the US is supported by the Government. Grants, loans, tax exempt status, and the tax free donations of alumni over the course of perhaps hundreds of years builds a university. It is not like walking into McDonalds and buying fries.
Back on the topic, history has shown that every key trading partner of a democracy is actually drawn closer, not driven to war. The more intertwined and interconnected the economy, the less likely a conflict is…
Case in point is Kashmir two or three years ago. Pakistan and India start pi$$ing around again, and there is a massive withdrawl of high tech workers from India. The US and British Government issue advisories, Microsoft starts evacuating, and politicians get some common sense back again. If war had broken out in Kashmir, the economy of India would have been set back 10 years. Peace is an essential element to prosperity.
The real point to this thread is that Muslims have this dream that somebody, anybody will stand up to the US and give us a good whack. Now you are hoping that China does this. Of course you ignore the fact that Chinas repression of Muslims makes Guantanamo look like childs play. There is just no CNN coverage of Chinas repression of Muslim provinces, as they are so remote that no one cares, and no one can get there with a video camera. Communists govenments are generally godless. Yet you would side with a communist government just for some petty need to see the US challenged? Is that what the Quran teaches, supporting repressive godless communists? I think not…
“Wasn’t Irem crying that she could no longer get a visa to go complete studies at Stanford”
