Anwar Ibrahim is so familiar-sounding to me. He's a big name in Malaysia. Hopefully, he has served the honest way possible.

@strynch Crucified their own leaders? You mean prophet? Wasn't that the romans? Europe doesn't consist entirely of italians. However I don't have a prophet, I'm an atheist, ironically and if you look at how religious people behave, atheist are probably the most "good" people on earth.

Democracy is compatible with Islam, only if Muslims are in the majority!

But under NO circumstances is Islam compatible with the Bill of Rights.

George Bush brought democracy to Iraq, but no Bill of Rights, and with no Bill of Rights, democracy is just mob rule.

Mohammad (and I spit when I say that name) had no interest in democracy. He and his gang of thugs would routinely attack passing caravans of businessmen, murder them and steal their goods. Islam spread by his "convert or die" policy.

Wait there my friend... Don't talk out of emotions but on clear thought and evidence. The Quran speaks for it self. Let it explain to you what is Islam all about. But right now it depends whether you are willing to read it or not. FYI the quran is truly is speech of God and preserved by Him. God won't fail the test of time even 1400 years ago or test of geography in Malaysia or USA because he created it and know everything about it. I don't need to explain the Quran because it explained itself.
