Lee Kuan Yew ranks as one of the most successful statesmen of the 20th
century, having led Singapore to independence, and built a thriving
prosperous mini-state with a world class economy, out of an ethnically
diverse population. He retired as the world's longest serving prime
minister, and at 87 years of age, has little to lose in speaking his
mind.
Thus, his candor in discussing the
assimilation of Muslims is perhaps
understandable, but stil startling in a world of political correctness
and compulsory sensitivity to Muslims, who are never expected to
reciprocate. Singapore has a substantial Muslim minority, mostly Malays
but also some Indian Muslims. Throughout its history, Singapore has
striven to keep ethnic tensions minimized among its diverse population
(ethnic Chinese being the largest group [74%], followed by Malays[13%],
Indians, and others -- including many westerners). At one point in the
1960s, Lee spearheaded a merger with majority-Muslim Malaysia, but it
quickly fell apart. [American

Of
course, this has been Barn Army Doctrine for 10 years now. It's a
no-brainer, and everyone knows it's true, Moslems included.
Especially Moslems. So why do "leaders" wait until THEY have
nothing to lose before preaching the gospel truth?
