rob kall: still, it IS somewhat frightening. I have opposed Bush's "democracy" crusade. It is a cover or veil for other motivations. You can not "inject" Democracy into a people. You cannot force it upon them. And what Bush has really done in Iraq is force the corporatization theories of the Neocons upon Iraq-- all the crazy, failed theories... This is not about democracy.
mohamed al Azaki: Sir, If you can understand the Arabic language, you will get it clear from Al-Jazeera TV, which millions of Muslims trust it. If so, then you will understand that the Arab public is now refusing democracy, and all analysts repeatedly say via Al-Jazeera TV that all Muslims now, - especially after the American-European-Israeli imposed the siege on Islamic movement Hamas' new government that renounced the violence and believed in democracy and won the Palestinian elections - , they all say that all Arab and Muslims are now infidels on that Bush's democracy.
mohamed al Azaki: If you Mr. Kall pay a visit to any Arab country, you will then correctly find that Muslims have to choice between loyalty to Islam or to Democracy-all Muslims now saying that Islam is contradicting democracy.
rob kall: True Democracy, or "Bush democracy?"
mohamed al Azaki: Both : True democracy and Bush's democracy are similar... Even the Christian religion - if you read the Bible - it contradicts with true democracy itself because of the "majority"; the main principle of democracy.
rob kall: Isn't it possible to have a democracy that also respects Islam? I expect this might be difficult with more extreme forms of Islam, just as here in the USA, extremist Christians would impose their ways on all.
mohamed al Azaki: Of course, I'm not against Democracy...I'm proud of being democrat in my country... but, in fact, according to Christian and Muslim clerks, the democracy system clearly contradicts Islam ... the democracy system also clearly contradicts the real Christian religion.
rob kall: Can an Islamic country have a peaceful relationship-- a healthy, positive relationship with a democracy?
mohamed al Azaki: Of Course, yes it can, but without interference by the United States.
mohamed al Azaki: But people in Islamic world are saying now that the democracy is just a "western religion"...Democracy is a western "religion " in which that has been confirmed by nearly all Muslim.
mohamed al Azaki: I think the world must to understand that Muslim youths before Iraq war were not the same youths after the Iraq war.
mohamed al Azaki: Anyway, you can see Afghanistan... who is going to control it?
rob kall: The opium sellers.
mohamed al Azaki: Ask American administration about the secret withdrawal from Afghanistan... about the growing power of terrorists there.
