American Samizdat

Monday, January 24, 2005. *
Well, that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi is at is again, spouting off on why democracy is a threat to the world -- well, not the world, really, but to Islam. Which one could presume he construes as the world, anyway. Here's his take on the democratic devil:
"We have declared a bitter war against democracy and all those who seek to enact it," said the speaker in the 35-minute message.

"Democracy is also based on the right to choose your religion," he said, and that is "against the rule of God."


Oh. I was wondering about that. Unfortunately, he forgot to specify which God he was referring to (and just saying "The One True God" doesn't count.)

I guess when Abu Musab al-Zarqawi finally wins against the occupation and takes over Iraq, they can expect much in the way of faith-based initiatives, strongly slanted to promote one religion over the other. And around the holidays, I doubt there'll be much of an uproar about the lack of nativity scenes in the local shopping malls.
