lets take an example of turkey, they are more successful than all of the other muslim countries. you are talking about true islam, which islam? the shia, the wahabi? the ahlal sunnah? that is itself cause for friction.
that is why i didnt claim all the problems will go away if religion is out of politics. mix religion with politics, and you will get a deadly product, we can see and taste it right now.
I dont think the term 'days of ignorance' will make people go on rampage and destroy everything. Politicizing religion is the only thing which will cause the destruction, this is the case with all religions, not only islam.
I personally dont agree with the term Nature of Islam which has been used here, but lets not forget that we muslims have established a pattern of intolerance and destrution of othe poeple's holy places.
what a bloody stupid generalization! these guy are not representatives of the communities. these are nothing but criminals and need to be locked up for life.
