Can you blame all of that friction on the US and Israel or is there something about muslim dogma that leads to violence? Are the Israelis and Americans fomenting violence everywhere in the world?
"Islam, the religion of peace" hmmmm

The world uses approximately 21.8 million barrels of diesel per day. (The diesel fraction of a barrel of petroleum is 26%).

A lot of citizens here are unsatisfied with recent fuel price increase. It is pretty bad here. Everyone blamed the government. Below are some of the quotes from a local forum. They are using Manglish but it is pretty understood.
IRB= Income taxFirst toll went up.
Then operasi sikap RM300 non negotiable.
Followed by IRB/JHDN. Hand assessment & cash at d same time.
Speed trap here n there. Saman(fine) came by registered post.
Petrol price went up again. New car price going up soon.
N we have cukai pintu, cukai jalan, insurance, installment, hire purchase,
IWK, parking, maintenance, food price went up, bus fare went up, this bill
and that bill to pay. Now........private car for inspection??
Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh I tak boleh tahan already. Pressure. Stress. Help. Tough
living in a modern society. Everything is money, money and money....n when
you dont have enough money.... what next???
and what I hate most about this thing..is the reason that they created so
call...'TO REDUCE ACCIDENT'...
somemore they always used the same excuse....
what to do...
nowdays, price for everything has increased despite comment from our
beloved minister saying that price will remain the same..... I guess the
only reason they said like that is because they don't go shopping for
grocerries....
what a great country...but managed by......IDIOT....
that the case of "RICH BECOME RICHER AND POOR BECOME POORER"
MALAYSIA BOLEH!!!!!!!!
