That's the question. Religion and politics combined is how that part of the world is governed. If that's what the people want and vote for then leave them to it. I do however see your point. The thing is this system is still stuck in the past. Who is to say it wont work well again in the future with some key changes? I am for different political systems over the world, not the "everything almost the same" political systems so many people seem to be after. Let people choose what system they want and leave them to it. It's the dictating to others what is right and wrong for them that helps create so many global problems. As for this story it just proves to be careful what you wish for. |
i agree with you,let the people vote on what they want,i certainly don't want the uk,usa dictating policy like they have done/tried too in the past,i was just asking how they separate religion from politics,those forces will eventually rub up against each other the more wealthy/independant the population become its inevitable,however long it takes
i don't mind relgious institutions but i certainly wouldn't want to be ruled by relgious doctrine myself but like you say its for countries to work out for themselves,which i assume is what is happening in the middle east after military dictatorships break down,everything has its pros and cons
