Just in case anyone had any doubts about poor moderate muslims living all around the world. Here is another very recent case from Malaysia.

So, apparently, in that country, there was a law that prohibited freedom speech, i.e. if you weren't Mulsim you couldn't use the word "Allah" in non-Mulsim religions (there is some usage of it in some Christian versions). And recently, the courts have overturned this law.

Guess what peaceful loving Muslims did in response?

A) Accept the right of free speech and exercise of other religions
B) Try to appeal in court
C) Blow up a whole bunch of non-Mulsim churches and paint nasty signs all over them.


And the answer is .... C!

"Objectivism is not only true, it is great! Why? Because of the volitional work a mind must have performed to reach for the first time so exalted a level of truth—and because of all the glorious effects such knowledge will have on man’s life, all the possibilities of action it opens up for the future." -- Leonard Peikoff
