It might read strangely to you, but perhaps that is because I wanted to have a no nonsense and non-stereotyped view of how they in fact see themselves without judging. I hope you found it informative!Maysaloonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826378383173206624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30984739.post-69725730206398576442007-10-23T07:39:00.000+01:002007-10-23T07:39:00.000+01:00hmmm... ok...

I want to know, however, how could the notion of the Wali faqeeh being the head of the excecutive boduý of the government be reconciled with th notion of a sovereign independent, multi religous state????<BR/><BR/> To my very humble point of viwe, Arab nationlism and its reviaval of the desert egalitarianism in light of western socialist theory is capable of of palying the functional role Islamism is supposed to play in fending our value system and identity against western hegemony and pentration. Furthermore, Arab nationalism is capable of assimilating religous and ethnic differences, something Poliical islamism can't do. In the Arab world we Have Syriancs, copts, sunis, Shiites, Druze................etc.<BR/><BR/>There if we go back to your brilliant post" ramblings on being a "Muslim Arab", you quite rightfully stated that Islam is an integral part of Arab identity- a postulate I totally agree with. Therefore, I find myself obliged, in order to be consistent, to follow it down deductively and ask, what is role of Islam in Non- Arab countries? Frankly speaking, What I have on mind there, is Iran. Because it is state where the identity is formulated on the basis of Persian nationalism interwined with the Iranian interpretation of shiisim.<BR/><BR/>Kind regards, and hope you accept the temporal fact that not all human beings like my humble self are on thesame level of IQ andcultural sophistication like yourself..........G.Garhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16573287809747571814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30984739.post-51757922637556870042007-08-24T14:37:00.000+01:002007-08-24T14:37:00.000+01:00Welcome أُمنية I'm always happy to answer question...Welcome أُمنية <BR/>I'm always happy to answer questions so don't worry at all.<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>WassimMaysaloonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826378383173206624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30984739.post-51644078238046183022007-08-23T23:19:00.000+01:002007-08-23T23:19:00.000+01:00thanks for passing by. really would like to read u...thanks for passing by. really would like to read ur posts. sound intersting but too difficult for me to understand. i'm not that good in politics. anyway will do my best.<BR/><BR/>thanksمترجم سوريhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14891500987490712802noreply@blogger.com
