Salams,


I am just taking out some time out of my own busy schedule to educate myself regarding Islam. I am a Muslim myself.


I came to this board regarding views on christian missionaries. A lot of sites, such as answering-islam are known for their useless polemics. Many a sites refute all their arguements, plus, they have found that site deletes verses from the Qur'an for their own needs. There are many sites like this too.


However, I would like to discuss the problem of Christian Missionaries. Here is a personal view on this matter.


I was at work the other day working at a small convenience store as a small job on the side. An African person (Might be a African American; doubt it, he had thick African Accent) came up to me and asked me what I was doing on the internet. He seemed very interested, and seemed to make a whole scene out of it. I just told him I am on a political board (Not this one..ha). He then started talking about world politics, and how he hates bush, this this and that. Anyways, he suddenly asked me, do you believe in god. I replied yes. He then asked why. I just said I was born into believing Islam, and I just stuck with it most of my life (This is actually true). At this point of time in the dicussion, I had a weak faith and poor view on other religions. I reasoned with him in mathematical terms that it was worth believing in god because of Pauli's Principle of 2 universes ( If you can't find it, do reply to this thread, and I will explain it). That's where I made my mistake, I should have said I believed in Allah strongly. However, even though I regret doing this action, I found out that actions have their results. You will see in a second.


He shifted the discussion into how Jesus's (Pbuh) blood will save all humanity. Note: At this point I did realize that is a dead-bolt arguement. Anyways, he started saying that Jesus (Pbuh) was the final Messiah, and how the angel who gave the message to Muhammed (Pbuh) was a false Angel and how Khadija forced Muhammed to believe in what is going on. I did tell him the Bible was modified and history showed it. He then said that if you changed something, you don't change the meaning but the wording. He said he had to go to get some Pizza (Pizza place next door), and he would bring me a book about this.


My take in this: This made me believe in Islam more and more. I found two interesting things. I did do extensive research on Bible and Qur'an, and found some interesting verses in the Genesis, Deutronomy, Matthew, Isiah, and John. These verses were very interesting. Before I note one verse I really liked I would like to note that many christian groups do note that the Bible is missing something after the 66th chapter, and many even claim that 99.1 to 99.7 percent of the bible is in original context (Where is original Bible? On other hand, any other Bible from other places.). At the same time, I felt that if Christianity was so clear in it's message, then why are there so many sects? For example, the missionary claims that men created confession booths. Men are evil in nature. Ok, you just accepted that men are evil in nature, then how does it stop writers of the bible from being evil. At the same time, it is MEN who wrote the Holy Books.


<b>Genesis 12:1-3 (New American Standard Bible)</b>


Anyways, here is the verse I liked.


1Now (A)the LORD said to Abram,


"Go forth from your country,


And from your relatives


And from your father's house,


To the land which I will show you;


2And (I will make you a great nation,


And ©I will bless you,


And make your name great;


And so (D)you shall be a blessing;


<b>3And (E)I will bless those who bless you,</b>


And the one who curses you I will curse


(F)And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed."


Christian's debunk Muslims at every point. I believe that every single word and line from every Holy book has it's purpose (I still stand by the fact that the Bible is modified). However, if you are Christian, and believe that Bible is the word of God, then read the bold line. We revere Prophet Abraham (PBUH). At times, I believe we even revere him more than you out of respect (you may notice that I use PBUH quote a bit. Even your bible says that I will "bless those you will bless you." (God to Abraham).


Just interesting. I found some connections on how Moses is more like Muhammed, and not like Jesus, and how he fits in the prophecies in the Bible. I ignored the Paraclete arguement because it does seem a bit controversial unless someone can give me some hard evidence.


Salams,

Women


What does Islam say about domestic violence?


The prophet announced that men who beat their wives are not good men. The prophet also said,


Do not beat the female servants of Allah.


Allah knows that life is not always a bowl of cherries. And so He stipulates that a man must be kind to his wife even if he happens to dislike her (Qur’an 4:19). Allah offers a good reason as to why men should not dislike their wives. Allah says that He has placed much good in women (Qur’an 4:19).


In this regard the prophet Muhammad, on whom be peace, said that no believing man should hold a grudge against a believing woman. So what is a husband to do if he dislikes some things about his wife? This is bound to occur, since no human being is perfect. The prophet instructed that men should look for the agreeable traits in their wives rather than focus on their faults. (See Saheeh Muslim, chapter on advice relating to women).


The prophet also advised men that if they wish to benefit from marriage they should accept their wives as they are rather than try to straighten them out and thus end up in divorce.


In the following verse of the Qur’an, Allah warns men that if they retain their wives in marriage it should not be to take advantage of them. The verse reads:


Retain them in kindness or release them in kindness. But do not retain them to their hurt so that you transgress (the limits). If anyone does that he wrongs his own soul. Do not take God’s instructions as a jest (Qur’an 2:231).


Once the prophet, on whom be peace, was asked what are the obligations of husbands toward their wives. He replied:


Feed her when you eat, and provide her clothing when you provide yourself. Neither hit her on the face nor use impolite language when addressing her (See Mishkat, chapter on the maintenance of women).


The prophet equated perfect belief with good treatment to one’s wife when he said:


The most perfect believer is one who is the best in courtesy and amiable manners, and the best among you people is one who is most kind and courteous to his wives (see Tirmidhi, chapter on the obligations of a man to his wife).


Finally, the prophet, the best example of conduct said:


The best among you is the one who treats his family best.


Some of the last words of the prophet delivered during the farewell pilgrimage enjoins that men should hold themselves accountable before Allah concerning the question of how they treat their wives. Therefore his advice to all men, is as follows:


You must treat them with all kindness.

Women




Why did the Prophet Muhammad marry many wives?




When Muhammad was twenty-five years old he married for the first time. His wife, Khadijah, was fifteen years older than him. She remained the only wife of the prophet for the next twenty-five years, until she died (may Allah be pleased with her).




Only after her death did the prophet marry other women. Now, it is obvious that if the prophet was after physical pleasure he did not have to wait until he was more than fifty years old to start marrying more wives. He lived in a society in which it was quite acceptable to have many wives. But the prophet remained devoted to his only wife for twenty-five years. When she died she was sixty-five years old.




His later marriages were for various reasons. Some marriages were with the view to help the women whose husbands had been killed while they were defending their faith. Others were with a view to cement relationships with devoted followers like Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him. Yet others were to build bridges with various tribes who were otherwise at war with the Muslims. When the prophet became their relative through marriage, their hostilities calmed down, and much bloodshed was averted.




Recent non-Muslim writers who had the opportunity to study the life of the prophet first-hand reached a similar conclusion about his plural marriages.




John L. Esposito, Professor of Religion and Director of the Centre for International Studies at the College of the Holy Cross, says that most of these marriages had "political and social motives" (Islam: The Straight Path, Oxford University Press, 1988, p. 19). This he explained as follows:




As was customary for Arab chiefs, many were political marriages to cement alliances. Others were marriages to the widows of his companions who had fallen in combat and were in need of protection (John L. Esposito, Islam: The Straight Path, pp. 19-20).




Esposito reminds us of the following historical fact:




Though less common, polygyny was also permitted in biblical and even in post-biblical Judaism. From Abraham, David, and Solomon down to the reformation period, polygyny was practiced (p. 19).




Another non-Muslim Caesar E. Farah writes as follows:




In the prime of his youth and adult years Muhammad remained thoroughly devoted to Khadijah and would have none other for consort. This was an age that looked upon plural marriages with favor and in a society that in pre-biblical and post-biblical days considered polygamy an essential feature of social existence. David had six wives and numerous concubines (2 Samuel 5:13; 1 Chronicles 3:1-9, 14:3) and Solomon was said to have had as many as 700 wives and 300 concubines (1 Kings 11:3). Solomon’s son Rehoboam had 18 wives and 60 concubines (2 Chronicles 11:21). The New Testament contains no specific injunction against plural marriages. It was commonplace for the nobility among the Christians and Jews to contract plural marriages. Luther spoke of it with toleration (Caesar E. Farah, Islam: Beliefs and Observances, 4th edition, Barron’s, U.S. 1987, p. 69).




Caesar Farah then concluded that Muhammad’s plural marriages were due "partly to political reasons and partly to his concern for the wives of his companions who had fallen in battle defending the nascent Islamic community" (p. 69).




When people hear that the prophet had many wives they conclude without much thought that the prophet was a sensuous man. However, a quick historical review of his marriages, proves otherwise.

Asalamalaikum


Here is one Hadith I was reading 2day


<b>The narration of Muslim says:</b>


The son of Abu Talhah (May Allah be pleased with him) who was born of Umm Sulaim died. She (Umm Sulaim) said to the members of the family: "Do not tell Abu Talhah about his son until I mention it to him myself.'' Abu Talhah came (home) and she gave him supper. He ate and drank. She then beautified herself the best way she ever did and he slept with her. When she saw that he was satisfied after sexual intercourse with her, she said, <b>"O Abu Talhah! If some people borrow something from another family and then (the members of the family) ask for its return, would they refuse to give it back to them.'' </b>
He said, <b>"No" </b>. She said, "Then hope reward for your son". Abu Talhah got angry, and said; <b>"You left me uninformed until I stained myself (with sexual intercourse) and then you told me about my son. "</b>
He went to Messenger of Allah (PBUH) and informed him about the matter. Thereupon Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "May Allah bless the night you spent together!'' He (the narrator) said: She conceived. (One day) Messenger of Allah (PBUH) was in the course of a journey and she was along with him. When Messenger of Allah (PBUH) used to come back to Al-Madinah from a journey, he would not enter it (during the night). When the people came near Al-Madinah, she felt labour pains. He (Abu Talhah) remained with her and Messenger of Allah (PBUH) proceeded on. Abu Talhah said: "O Rubb, You know that I love to go along with Messenger of Allah (PBUH) when he goes out and enter along with him when he enters, and I have been detained as You see.'' Umm Sulaim then said: "O Abu Talhah, I do not feel (so much pain) as I was feeling earlier, so we better proceed on. So we proceeded on and she felt the labour of delivery as they reached (Al-Madinah). She gave birth to a male child. My mother said to me: "O Anas, none should suckle him until you go to Messenger of Allah (PBUH) tomorrow morning.'' The next morning I carried the baby with me to Messenger of Allah (PBUH), and narrated the rest of the story.

Salaam,


I was wondering about this, but kept forgetting to ask or bring it up. I posted this question on the Non-Muslim board because if there was one thing that is so difficult to understand, it's the use of the word infidel. The first time I heard it was from OBL. I'm sure I'm not the only one in that position.


so..........


Can someone give an exact definition of the term with Suras for an explanation? I think this would benefit many.


Thank you!

<b>War Without End—Bush Proclaims Jacobin Crusade</b>


<i>By Paul Craig Roberts</i>


After listening to his inaugural speech, anyone who thinks President Bush and his handlers are sane needs to visit a psychiatrist. The hubris-filled megalomaniac in the Oval Office has promised the world war without end.


Bush’s crazy talk has even upset rah-rah Republicans. One Republican called Bush’s speech "God-drenched." It has begun to dawn on the formerly Grand Old Party that a bloodless coup has occurred and that Republicans have lost their party to Jacobins, who cloak themselves under the term "neoconservatives."


What is a Jacobin? Jacobins ushered in the French Revolution and the Reign of Terror. The Jacobins saw themselves as virtuous champions of universalist principles that required them to impose "liberty, equality, fraternity" not merely on France by a reign of terror, but also on the rest of Europe by force of arms.


Unlike America’s Founding Fathers, who exhorted their countrymen to cultivate their own garden, Jacobins were not content with revolutionizing France. They were driven to revolutionize the world.


President Bush’s second inaugural speech is Jacobin to the core. It stands outside the American tradition. Declaring American values to be universalist principles, Bush promised to use American power to spread democracy and to end tyranny everywhere on earth.


As one of Bush’s neocon puppetmasters, Robert Kagan, approvingly wrote in the Washington Post on January 23,


"The goal of American foreign policy is now to spread democracy, for its own sake, for reasons that transcend specific threats. In short, Bush has unmoored his foreign policy from the war on terrorism." [A Higher Realism]


Michael Gerson, the Jacobin White House speechwriter who wrote Bush’s infamous "God-drenched speech," defensively insists that Bush’s wars will only last "a generation."


We can take comfort in that. According to the dictionary, a generation is "about 30 years," so it is only our children and grandchildren who will have to be sacrificed for "Bush’s historic mission."


Along about 2035 things should be calming down.


Whoever remains can begin to attack the $50 trillion national war debt.


Kagan calls America’s moral crusade against the world "the higher realism that Bush now proclaims." Gerson declares that Bush’s "methods are deeply realistic."


What is realistic about declaring weapons of mass destruction to exist where they do not exist?


What is realistic about assigning blame for September 11 where it does not belong?


What is realistic about destroying a secular state and creating a vast breeding ground for terrorists?


What is realistic about making Osama bin Laden an Islamic hero and shaking the foundations of America’s reigning puppets in the Middle East?


What is realistic about declaring a world crusade in the face of evidence that the US cannot successfully occupy Baghdad, a city of only 6 million people, much less Iraq, a country of only 25 million people?


There is nothing realistic about Bush or any of his advisers. The world has not seen such delusion since the Children’s Crusade led by a visionary French peasant, Stephen of Cloyes, marched off to free the Holy Land from the Muslims in the year 1212.


The children were captured and sold into slavery.


Bush and the Republican Party have morphed into a Jacobin Party. They sincerely believe that they have a monopoly on virtue and the obligation to impose US virtue on the rest of the world.


This Jacobin program requires the supremacy of executive power and is dependent on an unwarranted belief in the efficacy of force.


There is nothing American or democratic about this program. Bush speaks as Robespierre when he invokes "a fire in the minds of men" that "warms those who feel its power." Bush possesses Robespierre’s "pure conscience" as he destroys Iraqi’s infrastructure and the lives of tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians, levels cities, and practices torture. American casualties (dead and wounded) have reached 10 percent of the US occupation force and are but the "realistic methods" Bush uses to achieve his "deeply idealistic" goals.


At home the casualties are the US Constitution and Bill of Rights.


Republicans explode in anger when a liberal judge creates a constitutional right. But they sit in silence when the US Department of Justice (sic) creates the right for Bush to decide who has constitutional protections and who has not.


Like Robespierre, Bush justifies the state of terror that he has brought to Iraq by his noble aspirations. The effect is to destroy idealism with hypocrisy about violence. When the neoconservatives succeed in draining idealism of its power, will they then declare violence alone to be their goal?


Led by Bush, the Republican Party now stands for detainment without trial and war without end.


It is a party destructive of all virtue and a great threat to life and liberty on earth.

<b>Microwaving Iraq</b>


'Pacifying' Rays Pose New Hazards In Iraq


By William Thomas


1-25-2005


http://www.willthomas.net/


On the rooftop of a shrapnel-pocked building in the ruins of Fallujah, a team of GI's stealthily sets up a gray plastic dome about two-feet in diameter. Keeping well back from the sight lines of the street and nearby buildings, they plug the cable connectors on the side of the "popper" into a power unit. The grunts have no clue what the device does. They are just following orders.


"Most of the worker-bees that are placing these do not even know what is inside the "domes" just that they were told where to place them by Intel weenies with usually no nametag," reports my source, a very well informed combat veteran I will call "Hank".


The grunts call the plastic devices "poppers" or "domes". Once activated, each hidden transmitter emits a widening circle of invisible energy capable of passing through metal, concrete and human skulls up to half a mile away. "They are saturating the area with ULF, VLF and UHF freqs," Hanks says, with equipment derived from US Navy undersea sonar and communications.


But its not being used to locate and talk to submarines under Baghdad.


After powering up the unit, the grunts quickly exit the area. It is their commanders, fervent hope that any male survivors enraged by brutal American bombardments that damaged virtually every building in this once thriving "City of Mosques", displacing a quarter-million residents while murdering thousands of children, women and elders in their homes -- will lose all incentive for further resistance and revenge.


A dedicated former soldier, whose experiences during and after Desert Storm are chronicled in my book, Bringing The War Home, Hank stays in close touch with his unit serving "in theater" in Iraq. When I asked how many "poppers" are being used to irradiate Iraqi neighborhoods, he checked and got back to me. There are "at least 25 of these that have been deployed to theater, and used. Some have conked out and been removed, so I do not know how many are currently active and broadcasting."


Hank is still losing friends in Iraq, where front-line soldiers put their current casualty figures from all causes -- combat, accidents, psychological crackups and suicides -- at 5,000 dead and 22,000 to 30,000 injured.


Hank also blames those at the top for hospital counts of upwards of 65,000 children killed since the 2003 invasion. He is concerned that innocent Iraqi families and unsuspecting GIs alike are being used as test subjects for a new generation of "psychotronic" weapons using invisible beams across the entire electromagnetic spectrum to selectively alter moods, behavior and bodily processes.


"The "poppers, are capable of using a combo of ULF, VLF, UHF and EHF wavelengths in any combination at the same time, sometimes using one as a carrier wave for the others," Hank explains, in a process called superheterodyning. The silent frequencies daily sweeping Fallujah and other trouble spots are the same Navy "freqs that drove whales nuts and made them go astray onto beaches."


MICROWAVING IRAQ


The Gulf War veteran observes that occupied Iraq has become a "saturation environment" of electromagnetic radiation. Potentially lethal electromagnetic smog from high-power US military electronics and experimental beam weapons is placing already hard-hit local populations-particularly children -- at even higher risk of experiencing serious illness, suicidal depression, impaired cognitive ability, even death.


American troops constantly exposed "up close" to their own microwave transmitters, battlefield radars and RF weapons are also seeing their health eroded by electromagnetic sickness. It's common, Hank recalls, for GIs to warm themselves on cold desert nights by basking in the microwaves radiating from their QUEEMS communications and RATT radar rigs.


Constant microwave emissions from ground-sweeping RATT rigs and SINGARS mobile microwave networks are much more powerful than civilian microwave cell phone nets linked in many clinical studies to maladies ranging from asthma, cataracts, headaches, memory loss, early Alzheimer's, bad dreams and cancer.


Even more powerful US military radars, radios and "jammers" blasting from ground bases and overflying aircraft add to this electromagnetic din.


This is bad enough. But this is also Iraq, Hank says, where ever-present sand acts as miniature quartz reflectors, unpredictably amplifying the ricocheting electronic smog so thick that if it were visible, every vehicle in Baghdad and the surrounding Sunni Triangle would be driving blind with their headlights on.


THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING


This is grim news to friend and foe alike -- already overloaded by constant adrenal stress, waterborne pollutants, infectious sand fleas, dehydration, pharmaceutical drugs and exposure to radioactive Uranium-238 fired in "hose "em down" exuberance by US ground and air cannons and cruise missiles.


As Hank puts it, DU is "the gift that keeps on giving." For the next four billion years, medical investigators say, large populated expanses of Kosovo, Afghanistan, Puerto Rico and Iraq will remain lethally radioactive from Made In America depleted uranium dust.


What kind of people would do this?


Clinical tests have repeatedly shown how microwaves "rev up" incipient cancer cells several hundred times. Triggered by nuclear radiation, and turned rogue by electromagnetic warfare unleashed by US forces, human cancer cells have been found to continue proliferating wildly -- even after the power source is turned off


MICROWAVING WOMBS AT GREENHAM COMMON


While the mobile microwave weapons currently deployed in Iraq may or may not lead to lasting harm, rooftop "poppers" and "domes" left to radiate for days at a time are irradiating unsuspecting families already coping with illness, wounds, hunger and the stress of losing homes and loved ones, whose rotting corpses cannot be buried under the sights of marine snipers.


A preview of what lies in store for long-suffering families in Iraq can be gleaned from Greenham Common, where the British Army reportedly used an electromagnetic weapon against 30,000 women who had camped for nearly two decades around that UK military base to protest the deployment of nuclear-tipped US cruise missiles.


One day in the summer of 1984, more than 2,000 British troops suddenly pulled back, leaving the fence unguarded. Peace mom Kim Besley recalls that as curious women approached the gate, they "started experiencing odd health effects: swollen tongues, changed heartbeats, immobility, feelings of terror, pains in the upper body."


Besley found her 30-year-old daughter too ill to stand. Other symptoms typical of electromagnetic exposure included skin burns, severe headaches, drowsiness, post-menopausal menstrual bleeding and menstruation at abnormal times. Besley's daughter's cycle changed to 14 days and took a year to return to normal.


Two late-term spontaneous miscarriages, impaired speech, and an apparent circulatory failure prompted the women to begin monitoring for a directed-energy beam, Using an EMR meter, they measured beams sweeping their camp at 100-times normal background levels.


Another harrowing example involves the sudden illness and cancer deaths of US embassy staff in Moscow after being deliberately targeted with very weak pulsed microwaves by Soviet experimenters and fascinated CIA onlookers running "Project Phoenix" in 1962.


Very Low Frequency (VLF) weapons include the dozens of "poppers" currently deployed in Iraq, which can be dialed to or "long wave" frequencies capable of traveling great distances through the ground or intervening structures. As air force Lt Col. Peter L. Hays, Director of the Institute for National Security Studies reveals, "Transmission of long wavelength sound creates biophysical effects; nausea, loss of bowels, disorientation, vomiting, potential internal organ damage or death may occur."


Hays calls VLF weapons "superior" because their directed energy beams do not lose their hurtful properties when traveling through air to tissue. A French weapon radiating at 7 hertz "made the people in range sick for hours."


GI's "DRIVEN NUTS" BY ELECTROMAGENTICS IN IRAQ


Like so many other American blunders among the ruins of Babylon, the intended microwave "pacification" of rebellious neighborhoods is having unintended effects. In actual "field-testing" in the Sunni Triangle, Hank has learned that the hidden, dome-shaped devices "are removing inhibitions". Armed individuals, already highly motivated to kill American forces are reportedly "losing all restraint" when exposed to the electromagnetic beams.


According to Hank's buddies in Baghdad, the frequency-shifting "poppers" "are having some remarkable effects on the locals as well as our own people." But these effects differ. Possibly, Hank surmises, because Americans come from daily domestic and military environments saturated with electromagnetic frequencies, while many Iraqis still live without reliable electricity in places largely free from electromagnetics before the American invasion.


According to members of Hank's former unit, constant exposure to invisible emissions from radar and radio rigs -- as well as to their own microwave weapons -- is backfiring. "Our people are driven nuts," Hank says. "It makes them stupid for two or three days."


The Desert Storm veteran compared the emotional effects of constant exposure to military microwaves to a lingering low-pressure weather system that never goes away. "You feel way down for days at a time," he emphasizes


As a consequence, AWOL rates among "spaced out" US troops are as high as 15%, Hank reports. For many deserters, it is not cowardice or conscience that is causing them to absent themselves from duty. "They are feeling so depressed," Hank explains. "They don't feel good. So they leave."


According to Hank's front-line buddies, Iraqis exposed to secret beam weapons "get laid back, confused and mellow, and then blast out in a rage, as opposed to our folks going on what could only be called a "bender" and turning into a mean drunk for a while."


Once they wander away from direct electromagnetic-fire, startled GIs come to their senses. They return to their units, Hank explains, saying, "What was I thinking?"


The recovery rate among US troops "seems to be about a day or so, where the locals are not getting over it in less than a week or more on average," Hank has learned.


It is Hank's hope that his revelations will prompt public debate over the secret use of electromagnetic weapons in Iraq. But lost in the arguments over these supposedly "non-lethal" weapons is a much bigger question: What are Americans doing there?


Whether soldier or civilian at home, it is our imperative duty to stop supporting those responsible for ongoing "weapons tests" in Iraq. As electrochemical "beings of light," the strongest electromagnetic force on Earth is human conscience, acted upon.

This has been a running theme for me lately but I am going to address it in an individual thread in order to follow my own advice. This board has been in existence for some time now. Over the course of this period, many quality questions have been asked and were provided with thorough explanations and evidence. As new members join and ask the same questions, the older members get tired of being repetitive. So in order to better fully serve those who wish to utilize the board, we ask that if one has a question to please do a query for the topic first. I bet that nine times out of ten the question is answered. If not, then please, please feel free to ask a follow up question that will help in understanding the topic. This method may seem more labor intensive than just posting any thread that pops into our heads, but it will result in more focused questions which will Insha'Allah help breed better understanding.


I suggest posting the link to whatever topic you are discussing and what information that one has found. This action will help all the other members know what knowledge base we are starting from and will once again focus the questions and will create more detailed answers. By showing that one is truly interested in learning about Islam, the board members will probably be more than encouraged to assist this inquisitive person.


Thank you for helping to make this board more productive and better suit everyone's needs.


Peace.

If you were elected President of the United States of America, why do you address yourself to the rest of the world? Suppose, if there was an election in the international community, you might get elected as a member of a freak show, or perhaps a kitchen hand, handing out plastic turkeys in tents but for the leadership of a country? Perhaps, in a handful of countries like Israel, for instance, which might think first about the bank account rather than any notion of political leadership but in the international community as a whole, the NO vote would be far in excess of 80%, as is patently evident in numerous opinion polls.


If Bush is <b>the model to follow</b>, we do not want his freedom and democracy. We do not want a model of freedom and democracy which sees the President of a country slink into his office in an armoured car which resembles a tank, guarded by 13.000 bodyguards plus countless other security personnel, creeping along a route lined by thousands of protesters.


We do not want his freedom and democracy which saw him slip out the back door of Number 10 Downing Street on his visit to London, the first such escape route used by any international leader any time in history, and during whose visit for the first time ever a statue of the President of the United States of America was toppled, to the cheers of thousands of lookers-on. Jimmy carter got out of his car and walked to the White House. Why can't Bush? The answer is simple: people do not like his Freedom and Democracy.


We do not want his freedom and democracy, which saw the wholesale slaughter of tens of thousands of innocent civilians in Iraq, a country invaded upon a pretext, which did not exist. We do not want a freedom and democracy based upon barefaced lies.
