And no I'm not talking about the situation in Iraq, but our own cultural war with the forces of darkness, the evil fundamemtalist lunatics who have hijacked Islam and distorted it beyond recognition to serve their own corrupt agenda, and held Kuwait hostage for the past 30 years while our esteemed leaders looked on approvingly.
"What the hell were they thinking?!" I hear you cry.. As far as our leaders were concerned, any liberal progressive movement was regarded a threat to their existence and so support was directed to the Islamist movements who have, in turn, slowly suffocated this country and are directly responsible for the state of decline that we're in now. Little did our short-sighted leaders realize that all the liberal progressives ever wanted was to adhere to Kuwait's constitution. Apparently, our leaders have always felt that the constitution was a thorn in their side and wished it never existed - as evidenced by the continuous assaults on the constitution both by the leaders and from their Islamist allies.
Well our leaders seem to have finally woken up - way too late if you ask me - to the fact that it is precisely their Islamist friends that want to overthrow them and assume the rulership of Kuwait. It is the Islamists that pose the greater threat to their existence, more than the liberals ever did.
There will be a rally at the Graduates Society on Tuesday May 18 at 7 pm to demonstrate against the latest assaults on our freedoms from the Islamists who now want to regulate all musical events in Kuwait with a long list of demands too ridiculous to mention here, but can be found in most Kuwaiti papers.
It's kind of sad that it took something as trivial as music concerts to finally wake everyone up to the homegrown menace that has been eating away at the constitution and at our civil liberties for years. Where was this outrage when Kuwait University was ordered to segregate its classes for boys and girls?
Still, better late than never I suppose... I urge you all to attend this rally and put your feet down and make your voice heard in defense of Kuwait!
Atheism! If you joined the atheists you could make the same case for Christianity in the West, simultaneously.
ReplyDeleteThey've hijacked Jesus for corrupt and petty political gain.
Religion can be useful in an absolute dictatorship, though. It's the globally accepted subversion of the will of the State.
Monarchies, according to The Spirit of Laws by Charles Secondat (Montesquieu) always love religion. It's the only form of government suitable to religious types.
Debate, reasoning, questioning, all necessary for deliberative government, and unncessary to a Monarchy or Church.
