A Forbidden Fruit
05,10,2008
In the heavens God warned the first humans to keep a way from eating from a certain tree they disobeyed and we all know the rest of the story.
Today the children of Ismail are living in a state of poverty and instability. Yes the Muslim world is afflicted with wars disease and a bleak future.
There is something that baffles the mind as the World around us embrace democracy and reap of its harvest, the children of Ismail fail to grasp what has become a reality in other regions and nations, They are stuck in a time warp of many yesterdays unable to break the chains that are holding them in bondage.
I reside in the state if New York located in the united states and I am a citizen of that nation and when elections take place my conscience is full of guilt that more then 1 billion of my brethren can not do the simple task of voting that I’m afforded in my adopted country.
Some western racist have come to the conclusion that the children of Ismail are not fit to embrace and implant democracy in their nations, some how our genes are not compatible with democracy.
Some nations in the Arab Muslim world have mastered the democracy of illusions, where in order to please Western nations and World public opinion have come up with back door democracy, they hold farce election some are even not afforded an opponent to challenge them,
Most of the constitutions in these nations state only 2 terms for the presidency but some how they end up leaders for life and the election do nothing but waste their limited resources of these poor nations.
There is a great mystery in the political life of these nations; some how they cant grasp the idea of the peaceful transfer of power. These leaders come to power by the gun and its bullets and the only time a transfer of power occurs at the hands of the Angel of death or another person with a bigger gun and bullets.
Like our forefather Adam transgression against the creator by eating what he was not suppose to, So in conclusion Democracy has become the forbidden fruit of today.
