That's why you need to rely upon much more thorough statistics, such as those available at the CIA World Factbook. Looking very briefly through the sex ratio statistics at birth for the countries listed above for the Middle East, only one country has a ratio of 1.07 boys per one girl (Tunisia); two countries have a ratio of 1.06 boys per girl, and all the others are at 1.05 boys per girl. This is hardly evidence of female infanticide as a common practice in the Middle East. What you don't seem to understand is that female infanticide is reviled among Muslims. The Qur'an condemns abortion and, more specifically, the act of female infanticide ("When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned - For what crime she was killed;" 81:8-9). So when you paint Muslims with a broad brush of practicing female infanticide, it's like a sign going on that says, "I don't know what I'm talking about."

As you're the one who's trying to make the case, you need to provide the evidence. Anecdotal evidence won't do; you need to provide solid, statistical data that's readily available and from a reliable source. Personally, I doubt that you will find such data; it would be better if you retracted that section of your post as well. Best for you to stop beating a dead horse.

Just wonderful chances for any dirty deal. How could 500000 weapons disappear? D. Cheney's Halliburton made apparently 18000 million USD in some ways. Not bad, and before the greenback goes down the drain, given nobody wants to pay for this, they'll find a way to convert it into something valuable. No, I don't believe in any noble goals. It's just business. Hello Sarah,
