enigmadk: Yes: Rumyet...

why do u think that democracy as said by antjo39 is the last word of God.

Look instead of getting pro-Western in ur threads,please analysis democracy is a broader term,if democracy is successfull in Western World,,,it is less because it is an ideal form of governance.

More is because education and their historical struggles against Church and feudralism has made them to get best out of even an out-dated system what u called Democracy.
When did Democracy get OUTDATED,and what it was replaced with?confused uh oh

It is amazing how we citizens of the so called developed world see democracy and we can classify a country as being democratic or not!!!

I am sorry but for me democracy is much more then the right to vote in “free” elections. It is also housing, basic health services, education, FOOD, healthy children, freedom of religion, security and freedom of choice. Democracy is the freedom of having a mind enough comfortable with all the nutrients and to be able of think rationally, it is being able and have the strength to fight against brain wash.

Freedom in Bangladesh, in Indonesia, in the west bank of Gaza!!! I don’t laugh because this is dramatic.

What a poor opinion we have about democracy. As we say in my country it is easy to talk when our stomach is full.

I am in a country which is not democratic, Portugal, we are facing in these last years a dictatorship of a restrict number of political parties.

I was wondering that. Replaced with what? Anarchy? Oligarchy? Theocracy? Absolutism? Fascism? Communism? The list could go on and on. I'm not saying it's perfect, but no other constitution proffered can be elevated above it.

Modern democracies are representive, as opposed the Athenian model of Solon, but Athens was merely a city state, not a nation.
Some may posit that western democracies are merely oligarchies or dyarchies masked with the concept of democracy; this has some merit with countries under a two-party system supplying candidates from generations of political families . However, I still cannot find a constitutional model that surpasses democracy.

for those to lazy to search


The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was founded by Abdul-Aziz bin Saud (sometimes known as Ibn Saud) in 1932, although the conquests which eventually led to the creation of the Kingdom.

Lebanon is a parliamentary democracy, which implements a special system known as confessionalism. This system is intended to deter sectarian conflict and attempts to fairly represent the demographic distribution of the 18 recognized religious groups in government.

Pakistan. hahaha democracy is a joke my friend. we only elect the president based on the things we hear from the media...no one usually knows the damn presidents here in USA besides what they hear or see on TV ahahah what a joke....All leaders of other countries are appointed by the USA. WHen they dont like that, they favor another party within that country, get work from the rebels of that country, or make up a reason to bomb that country ahahhahah what a joke...Hey if Obama had asked me "we are going to attack libya to free them, but we are gonna have to raise gas prices", I would tell him to go f himself. But no one asked me as a Citizen, where is the democracy in that hahahah BTW, Pakistan doesn't have a ruler or dictator but it does have an american liked president who pretty much bows down to USA to get his personal money. I think they call it aid ahahhah just like they gave the Egyptian president hahahahhahah what a joke...

Rumyet: There r about 50 muslim majority countries in the world.But its really hard to find a democratic muslim country.
For me only Turkey more less got a democrasy as they choose theirs president every 5 yrs and they r not controlled by the leader who is in power 30-40 years,now.Like most muslim countries do.And other living standarts.

Can u name any other democratic muslim country or there r non.


No there are none. And turkey is not democratic either. They only pretend to be, to extract the benefits of the european community otherwise they wouldnt have been allowed to join.

I am inviting you to read again my previous post, but do it well, without hate in your hart.

I am not in a democratic country I don't believe in this "democracy" of two parties...

You need to read more about the health services in USA...and the insurance health system.

I don't support any foreign military operation in any country.

And, please, learn something about the RICHENESS of oil. With the fast development of other forms of energy this richness may turn SOON, VERY SOON, into dirty black garbage.

Thank you.
Rose

Albertaghost: Oh yes they do. They cook up names such as 'the people's democratic republic' and such. Hold fake elections where the leader gets 95% of the vote and other things like that. Qaddafi was famous for touting his democratic country to the world.


thumbs up cheers
