Barack Obama said below: The Arab governments need to embrace democracy, not theocracy. When you allow the will of God to influence the laws of your country, you will not win the support of the US It is surprising that he said that to the Palestinians. Knowing just a little history would make Obama realize just how foolish he appears to the Palestinians for this and other comments made below. If he had said something like that about the many monarchies, un-Islamic governments in the Middle East like Saudi Arabia, Jordan, etc then he would be making sense and we would be in full agreement. For hundreds of years Muslims, Jews and Christians lived in peace and prosperity under Sharia the will of God rule in Palestine. Muslims ruled using Islamic precepts and peace and prosperity reigned for several centuries after the Crusades in the land of Palestine. It was not until the coming of the racist Zionists out of Europe, beginning in the 1890s, that havoc and turmoil came to Palestine. Today the original Jews, Christians and Muslims of Palestine are still in peace and harmony united against the invading Zionists. That alone is testimony to how successful the will of God rule has been for the people of different religions in Palestine. While loudly criticizing Muslims for wanting a theocracy, Obama is mute about Gods chosen people building a nation based on Jewish racism and claims to land given to them by God. Typical double standard portrayed by American politicians when it comes to anything affecting Jews and Israel. It is sad and pitiful to see the total capitulation of American politicians to Jewish causes and interests, it is even worst to see those who are supposed to be worshipping Allah only, give blind, unreasoning support to one groveling at Jewish feet. Check out the link below for the full story: http://www.palsolidarity.org/main/2006/01/15/an-invitation-for-barak-obama/ An Invitation for Barak Obama "The Arab governments need to embrace democracy, not theocracy. When you allow the will of God to influence the laws of your country, you will not win the support of the US. (What about Israel claiming they have the God given right to rule this land?) The Arab governments need to renounce violence against civilians. (What about 1,000, 000 dead Iraqis, were all of those people terrorists, Baathists, foreign fighters or were some of them civilians?) The US is opposed to theocracy and terrorism and if the Arab governments want to create a paradigm shift, they need to address these concerns of ours." So then I asked him, You say the US is opposed to theocracy and terrorism, how can you explain to the Palestinian people how the US can be opposed to these things but still supports a state that has racist, oppressive, unjust and apartheid policies. And do you see how this paints an inconsistent picture to the people of the Middle East? He began his answer by saying he would not accept the assumptions I made and therefor was not going to address that part of my question. He said he could understand the Palestinian view that the policies of the US were one sided but he said the relationship with Israel was not going to change. My high hopes for Barak Obamas foreign policy ideas were shot down!.....
