Arab culture 'under attack from West in name of democracy'

#11  Schroeder, Carter, Clinton -- what's the difference? They're all "former" but don't recognize their "dustbin of history" fates. They're about as meaningful as UNESCO. It's all blather that impresses no one except their groupies.

Keynote Address:

Is the western model of election and democracy applicable worldwide?

American Model vs. European Model – what’s there for the GCC to learn?

Hon. Gerhard Schroeder,
Former German Chancellor.

#4  I was doodling obscene (read: biography) cartoons of Mohammed on my cocktail napkin. Do I get extra points for realism?

#3  â€œOn the political level, the participants discussed the characteristics of the New World System, which they believe is based on the racist principles of confrontation with the civilizations that describe Arab culture as aggressive and violent, based on an "alleged Islamic fundamentalism.’”

Actually, it is the analysis of the empirical evidence (blood and splatter) and the frequency of that evidence that makes us wonder whether Arab culture on whole is aggressive and violent. As far as Islam goes, it leaves its own trail of evidence in its Koranic imperatives.

Every new group can’t help but sound like a line from Life of Brian: “the Permanent Conference to Confront the Zionist Cultural Invasion”.
