Gee, and I thought all Muslims were terrorists. This is a great day for America, and hopefully it will wake many up to the fact that the great majority of Muslims want peace.

Even though today is a wonderful day in Iraq, what most muslims want and what the religion will allow are two totally separate things, and there in lays the problem.

You do not need hatred to study the religion and see continual problems for any type of Iraqi democracy because of islam in the future. Islam in its truest form and democracy do not mix. Islam is not only a religion it is also a form of government.

Be hopeful, there was a time Christianity could not separate church and state.

Early Christians thought communism was the natural christian form of government. They got over it. Religious practice adapts.

True. But that's what gives me hope. Zarqawi was right about one thing: democracy is a threat to Mohammedanism. And the Iraqis today chose democracy.

I'm not sure what you mean by "truest" form, but 72% of Iraq showed today that Democracy can work in a Muslim society, as it has worked in Muslim Turkey for decades now.
