No matter the best intent the cultural, ethnic, and tribal biases don't allow for any
medium controlled by sympathizers of corrupt governments to be a tool for open
dialogue to voice against hundreds of years of corruption.
The sad fact is that when a practicing Muslim speaks against
the corrupt regimes those born or raised in that country or region
feel a civic duty to defend that which is indefensible.
If you are not associated with the corruption there is no need to defend it.
Corruption is not determined upon a persons ethnicity or region.
There are pious practicing Muslims throughout the world. Alhamdulillah
Unbelievable how the tone changes when the Arab Spring and Autumn
has been victorious in countries they wouldn't allow any voice of displeasure.
