The Tale Of Two Peoples...

Why Israel Thrives, Unlike Its Crazy Neighbors!
During a recent trip to Israel, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney made the innocuous statement that culture has contributed to the economic success of Israelis.The PC police and all the usual suspect hated the idea that Israelis might be succeeding more than Palestinians based on cultural advantages.
Tel Aviv. If you've an Intel chip in your laptop etc...it was
developed in Israel.
But hold the phone...none other than the Arab Human Development Report of 2002 singled out three major “deficits” in Arab society that are “obstacles” to progress.
(1) The lack of political freedom. 
(2) The narrow knowledge base of Arabs.
(3) The status of women. 
All of these vary across the region — Saudi Arabia’s women are forbidden to drive and just about do anything else — but nowhere any Muslim country are women as free as they are in the West or, for that matter Israel; and in all of Arabia, about half of the potential workforce is  poorly educated.
And guess what... trillions of petro dollars later and bugger all has changed in ten years!
Indeed, the so called nonsense of the Arab Spring has the 7th century Islamist parties like the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt winning, and driving the Muslim coach back-to-the-future.
"Islam is the solution." The new Islamist president of Egypt had this slogan in his successful election campaign...and it's true. True that is, if you want to live in a Mullah run misogynist, fascist hell! (Photo: Copyright Control).
