Attrocities committed in the past by Christians (the comment of Jews was pure ignorance) hardly justifies or excuses attrocities committed *today* by Muslims. I have friends who survived the Muslim massacres of Chinese schoolchildren in Malaysia in 1969. Anyway Christian church leaders often express regret for past Christian behavior. No Muslim scholar has *ever* expressed similar regret. Further all the scholars at alAzhar (the main center of Sunni learning in Egypt) have called for the restoration of the Dhimma (the second-class humiliated and degraded position of nonMuslims in Muslim territories). Like Marxism, Islam has many attractive features. Also like Marxism, Islam has many dangerous and disgusting aspects which leads Muslims like Marxists to commit unspeakable attrocities. For this reason sovereignty must be removed from Muslim countries everywhere. Joachim Carlo Santos Martillo Ajami
