Problem with democracy
by Niki Bawa on Dec 04, 2007 08:45 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

Religion being used for political ends. I suppose that never happens in the West. No leader there talks about how they hear the word of God guiding their hand and how Jesus is their favorite philosopher. I suppose it's only a Muslim phenomenon.

Nobody in the US presidential race can talk about pro-abortion because it is anti-christian.

And did you hear the interview with Mitt Romney saying he believes that the Bible is written by god etc etc to woo voters.

Dude, this is what ignorance leads to. Have you ever studied western politics or witnessed any political debate in the west. The USA itself has the world's largest right wing conservative party. You will be actually surprised at how many presidential candidates, past and present have said that they prefer the 10 commandments and the bible over the american constitution, that God guides them and that actually Jesus is their favourite philosopher. Make sure that you have strong supporting facts before making any statement.
Peace Out!!
