but sgt would be good with a christian ran government......it always amazes me that people see the evil in others religions but never the evil in their own
sgt you really need to decide if you are an witness....none of this should matter....if you are a mormon you simply want to have mormons in charge? isnt that true?
There is that nonsensical equivalence....
A lesson in history and religion:
Although Christianity in its many varieties was the religion of the original colonies,
Christianity does not preach operational dominance over the body politic in America. Tocqueville compared this aspect to Islam: Mohammed professed to derive from Heaven, and has
inserted in the Koran, not only religious doctrines, but political maxims, civil and criminal laws, and theories of science. The Gospel, on the contrary, speaks only of the general relations of men to God and to each other, beyond which it inculcates and imposes no point of faith. This alone, besides a thousand other reasons, would suffice to prove that the former of these religions will never long predominate in a cultivated and democratic age, while the latter is destined to retain its sway at these as at all other periods. Tocqueville, Democracy in America, vol.2, p. 23.

b. The 1992 Basic Law of Saudi Arabia states that the nation's constitution consists of the Quran and the sunna, the actions and sayings of the prophet as recorded in the hadith. Article IV of the Iranian constitution states that "all civil, penal, financial, economic, administrative, cultural, military, political, and other laws and regulations must be based on Islamic criteria." And Article 227(1) of the Pakistani constitution reads, "All existing laws shall be brought in conformity with the injunctions of Islam as laid down in the Holy Quran and sunna ... and no law shall be enacted which is repugnant to such injunctions."
