that article is painful to read
muslim_queen.. i dont think it comes down to being muslim either.. there are many other countries (as matty has rightfully stated) who are in the same boat
its just, is waqt everyone wants to highlight that the place and origin was Islamic.. it wins headlines

sadzz-- I dont see why people always bring the so called Muslim countries into it.I am Muslim and I for one am not exactly doing much to help any of those people.(Im also in Canada)It all comes down to the *people and how much they do.I dont think it has anything to do with whether Muslim arent doing as much as Chirstians.

I think this was addressed to me.
My whole earlier point was that while many Muslims are very quick (and right) to criticize Israel and America, they should also acknowledge the wrongdoings of their Muslims brothers for the equally hideous atrocities they are carry out amongst their people. I wasn't trying to make a Muslim v. Christian post and i'm not quite sure where you got that from. I was merely saying we ought to also look at ourselves, and by ourselves, I mean Muslims.
Yes, we are in Canada. We can help by discussing various issues and bringing them forward. A lot of stuff goes unnoticed when "hot topics" like Iraq and Israel are continously discussed.
Not only that, but we can donate funds to help these people. Believe me, every dollar counts.
^ No Mehnaz it wasnt directed towards you at all.Im only saying that if I defend Iraqis, people think I do it because its a matter of the USA against Muslims.That is not true.I said what I did, because Im against such horrible crimes against the innocent people.
I know there are many other nations who are also suffering.However, the thread was about Iraqis, therefore my particular comment above.
oh, o.k.
