It leads to people showing the hair in their heads, that is the normal way in our species. Including the majority of the muslim population and the majority of the human population. If you think this is the same as being naked in public or that women's hair is impure, well... You live in a very sad place and deserve compassion. It really sucks to be you, but your pain is self-inflicted. Enjoying the feminine grace and…

Lets me check your list: Zero. Not. None of that I'm aware. None recently apart of the terrorist attacks in Madrid and Barcelona (hardly attributable to the west way of life). I never drive drunk and never meet anybody that was raped.

It seems that your image of the world has a few cracks on it, and is not so accurate as you think

Now tell me how many of those points can you check in your place.

Please don't dare to tell me that Islam countries are happy utopias were nobody is raped, there is not prostitution or mass killings and problems never appear. We aren't so gullible.

We know that Afghanistan is a main drugs exporter and mental issues by drug abuse are not uncommon. We are aware that half of the muslims want the other half killed and that some muslims have committed genocides towards other muslims at each single opportunity in their history. We are aware that in some places woman can't work or earn money to support themselves in any non clandestine way

It obviously means there's reason to be suspicious. It took 60 years for the US to admit its role in the 1953 coup.

Reason to be suspicious, sure. Just not reason to draw that conclusion firmly.

I agree. I am sure that the hack boosted the morale of many protestors. It is tragic but us normals have no way of determine the degree to which it was inside job. Who is going to trust the CIA, etc if they deny it?

Especially when there are US agencies posting videos like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VA4e0NqyYMw

Ya, we can't really know, but I think it's fair to say that powerful though the CIA is, they can't synthesize these kinds of protests from nothing. So, even if the CIA did hack these TV stations to aid the protesters, it's something that could just as easily have been done organically too, so I'm not sure it really matters whether they did or didn't.
