Peace Prize for actions to end wars- Nominate a Muslim
If caring for world peace, a Muslim should be nominated.
Mr Liu Xiaobo is a brave person. He is entitled to a human rights international reward.
However, the Nobel peace prize should be allocated to people acting to stop or avoid ongoing wars and conflicts.
What is the ongoing global war already ongoing for years and without a forecasted end?
It is the Islamist worldwide attack on all cultures,including wars,terror and imposing limitations on free cultural expressions.
Nobel peace prize should encourage actions to put an end to the Islamist ideology and actions.
That fore, Nobel peace prize committee should nominate a Muslim leader active in Muslim countries, using the Aras language, promoting equality between all religions and to stop the worldwide terrorism and Islamist wars.
Unfortunately the Nobel peace prize
has become a political tool promoting the utopian ideology of Europe left wing.
The last year they nominate Obama the charismatic "Change president""
What Obama has done for the world peace before the nomination?
