Obama Administration: One Way or The Other

The American administration’s initial knee-jerk total support for the “Mubarak must go!” demonstrators, followed by a switch to a “Mubarak needs to stay a while” position, coupled with the administration’s previous tossing the Iranian demonstrators to the wolves has injured believability in America as an ally, or as a serious supporter of Democracy in the Middle East.

Quotes and Sayings

About the Region, Islam and cultural totalitarianism...

    Sharia is incompatible with the fundamental principles of democracy…It is difficult to declare one’s respect for democracy and human rights while at the same time supporting a regime based on Sharia, which clearly diverges from (European) Convention (for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms) values, particularly with regard to its criminal law and criminal procedure, its rules on the legal status of women and the way it intervenes in all spheres of private and public life in accordance with religious precepts.

    — European Court of Human Rights, 2003, ECHR, 2003-II report
