The painful truth

Muslims' painful truth - Straits Times, SEPT 5, 2004: "'If all the enemies of Islam united together and decided to harm it...they wouldn't have ruined and harmed its image as much as the sons of Islam have done by their stupidity, miscalculations and misunderstanding of the nature of this age.' - MR AHMED BAHGAT, an Egyptian Islamist "

The above is re the Beslan school tragedy in Russia. I sympathise with this man's disappointment at human stupidity. Such terrible things happen as a result of some very dumb thought processes. And it's not just Muslim terrorists, though this article was about them. See the recent war on Iraq, that appears to be dumb and terrible also.
