Peace On Earth

YESTERDAY I HEARD Serge Trifkovic say most of the conflicts in the world involve Muslims, and if you took away conflicts involving Muslims, the world would be a pretty peaceful place.

Muslims, both moderates and extremists, are always quick to point out that Islam is a religion of peace. But this statement by Trifkovic made me curious, so I've been searching on Google for a map of world conflicts, and which ones involve Muslims. I haven't found what I was looking for, but I found two maps (on two different web sites that have nothing to do with each other) that are interesting when you see them together.

The first map is by Freedom House, an organization that tracks democracies around the world. It shows their map of world freedom. The purple countries are the least free:



A few clicks later, I found this map of populations of Muslims. It shows by color where the densest population of Muslims live in the world (the highest population of Muslims is darkest blue):


Pretty interesting, huh? One of the things we've been advocating strongly and repeatedly on CitizenWarrior.com is that we can weaken Islamic supremacists by pushing for women's rights.

In order for women to have rights, the Muslims will have to loosen their tight grip on Islamic law. Those who make fewer of their laws conform to Shari'a have more freedoms, and more rights for women. And in so doing, perhaps some other Koranic instructions (like jihad, for example) might be modified as well. This would make it more difficult for Jihadis to recruit new warriors. And hopefully those young men would find more productive things to do with their time than blowing themselves up.

And all this can be brought about by focusing solely on promoting women's rights. Do you think every woman should have human rights? Yes, so does almost everybody else in the world. This is a place we can join together in a mutual and important purpose.

In the struggle to defeat the third jihad, this is the place the wall can be breached.
