Western despots

When Muslim despots commit crimes, you can easily tell because they think they own the whole country and they do anything they feel like. But when Western despots (they call themselves politicians) commit crimes, they talk in such elegant language that one can easily mistake them for saints. I have noticed that when it comes to deceiving people, America, Britain and Israel are the best in the world. It is shocking how easily they can put spin on a true event and then change it into something totally different. They know that people will not accept their crimes, so they carefully infect the subject with lies to confuse people and eventually shift everyone's attention away from the main issue to something they are comfortable with. And while everyone is busy debating the "deliberately created" confusion, the perpetrators walk away with their crimes, be that theft of oil, land, putting puppet government or sponsoring state terrorism.

Take the issue of Iran's nukes, for example. The whole issue is quite simple: Is nuclear weapon good, or is it bad? If it is bad then let's get rid of all nukes; and if it is good, then leave Iran alone. But the anti-Muslim bullies avoid this question because whichever answer they give, they end up losing. If they admit that nuclear capability is bad then they have to get rid of their own stock, and if they admit it is good then they have to leave Iran alone. So what they do is start talking about other issues like Iran's unstable government, its mullahs, the threat it poses to the Mid East (even though we all know the biggest threat to the Mid East is Israel).

Take Palestine as another example. Western leaders keep demanding "You should stop suicide bombers". But Palestinian suicide bombers would not exist if Israel didn't occupy their country in the first place. So the question we should be asking is "When will you go back to pre-1967 borders?" But they avoid this question, saying they need to negotiate. When Muslims retaliate they demand immediate end, without negotiation. But when Muslims tell them to end their killing and looting, they say they need to negotiate, even though they have been negotiating since 1950!

It is time for the West to stop its hypocrisy and double standards against Muslims.
