  • just goes to show: the richer a mohammedan individual or country gets, the more fanatic they are.
    
    dirt-poor mohammedans tend to be the most decent of the lot.
    
    just look at the shahabuddins and the zakarias and madanis of india: they are the ones who foment riots and bigotry, using the poor mohammedans as a fast-breeding, easily-enraged army to wrest concessions from the nation.

  Taken together, these cases illustrate two issues--both central to the debate about Islam and modernity--that Malaysia is struggling to come to terms with. Can a Muslim majority live with a non-Muslim minority as equals, or must the former be explicitly dominant--in law as well as in day-to-day life? And can Muslims reconcile piety with a culture where the rights of the individual (say, to order a beer) are given precedence over communal beliefs?

    Indians should choose to skip Malaysia on trips, rather go somewhere else.
