Didn't the financial orgy of the Federal Reserve and big banks and consequent bail out
a form of corruption? It is a very sophisticated way of stealing public money, but is corruption nonetheless.
For the time being, till the culprits are punished, I consider the US quite corrupt.

Mr Heintze talks about the "evil ideologies" of Islam. Just to clear things out I am not a Muslim but to label a religion followed by more than a billion people as being evil when a couple thousand of them are terrorists is hilarious.
These absurd emotionally charged generalizations are exactly what breeds cultural insensitivity across the globe and condemning a faith followed by more than a billion people because of a couple of thousand is disturbing to say the least.
Also remember that during the Crusades, Christian nations essentially went around slaughtering Muslims. There were probably more casualties during the Crusades than there were during the Holocaust. I by no means support any of these actions and consider them inhumane but I hope to draw a parallel here.

Walter get your facts straight, Nigeria is increasingly becoming less corrupt even as we speak so Nigeria is rightfully not on the list.

I'd like to know where Iraq ranked BEFORE the war started? Once again, why did we think we could civilize this region of the world where their greatest enemy is each OTHER? They are no better off with or without our interference. If you are to believe the list of the most corrupt countries in the world, most of them are muslim nations. Need I say more regarding the predominantly evil ideologies of Islam?
