Egyptian Leader Condemns Democracy, Calls it ‘Bad, Backwards and Retarded Idea’

When Egyptian Shaykh Sa‘id ’Abd-al-’Azim (a leader in Egypt’s salafi movement, which is a militant fundamentalist group calling for Islamic domination) sat down for an interview with the satellite station al-Hafez, he had plenty to say about democracy’s “evils.” Aside from calling the freedom-focused form of government ”…a bad, backwards, and retarded idea,“ he also said that those who support democracy are ”wicked.” He goes on to target the perils of free will, saying:
Even the freedoms–what are they? Among the freedoms inherent in the democratic system are freedom for women, freedom of ownership, freedom of homosexuality, personal freedom, freedom of conscience and expression, freedom to disbelieve in the Creator of Heaven and Earth. There’s mixing (of men and women), usury–all of this is in democracy, which is why I condemn it.

Posted on June 27, 2011 at 9:37amStill think they are the good guys, lefties? To me Islam is the most immoral, against God, group on earth. I can no longer refer to them as a religion, and I will not do so in speech or blogs. Our Heavenly Father gave us free agency to make our own choices. No one and no group has the right to take that away. Every day they take more of the mask off what they are doing in the middle east, why in the world do not the people in the whole world get it? It couldn’t be more clear, and there is this bla bla bla attitude of Mr and Mrs America. Makes me want to scream. Mr and Mrs World do not get it either. There are a few people sounding the alarm and the press tries to shut them and shut them down.’Let he who has ears listen, he who has eyes see” Can’t remember the rest of that scripture but it sure is on the money.

Report Post »Alexander Hamilton wasn’t too far off when he said: “Democracy is a poor system of government at best; the only thing that can honestly be said in its favor is that it is about eight times as good as any other method the human race has ever tried. Democracy’s worst fault is that its leaders are likely to reflect the faults and virtues of their constituents — at a depressingly low level.”

You seem to use the terms “indoctrinated” and “tolerant” quite often. Are the people on this site indoctrinated only because they don’t agree with your ideas…? How tolerant of YOU then. Judging by your screen name, you are a female. Do you think those “tolerant” people would be okay with you spouting off your opinions…you being female and all? You seem to be the one who is indoctrinated because the media is telling you that these are “democratic” protests and you not only believe it, you support it. Do you even know who it is you are supporting over there? How do you know they have their people’s best interests at heart, or if they only want to grab up the power to further their own cruel agenda? You could be supporting an evil, repressive regime about which you have absolutely no knowledge. I’m sure there are people over there who do not WANT this type of change. Who are YOU to dictate to THEM how their country should be governed? Seems YOU are the Nazi now.

Report Post »In his address at the Prayer Breakfast 2009, Obama said this: “We know too that whatever our differences, there is one law that binds all great religions together. Jesus told us to “love thy neighbor as thyself.” The Torah commands, “That which is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow.” In Islam, there is a hadith that reads “None of you truly believes until he wishes for his brother what he wishes for himself.”
SO, since they all want to be under subjection to Sharia Law, that is what they “wish” for the rest of us. Yeah, great stuff!!

Morning back to you.
Nice to see something in the world is still fairly standard for such firsts of the week; another set of revolutionary leaders want to become dictators, use a ‘freedom reformation’ movement as camoflage to seek their own way unto tyranny and decry the democratic means of the free countries as evil, ugly, idiotic, etc.
This sounds much indeed like the current President we do have, for he disregards the laws and will of the Senate, the Courts and especially of the people to do what he pleases and has stated he wishes to be a dictator of a country of his own…even though he used China as an example.
