Another day, another completely whacked out article at the Arab News: The West’s Fake Democracy. This one starts out sounding almost reasonable, if a bit off kilter:

The democratic model in the West is based on a principal pillar - freedom. It isn’t simply political freedom but also freedom of speech, action and ideology. The only condition is that one person’s freedoms shouldn’t transgress on another’s.

In that model it is imperative that everyone enjoys those freedoms, that no groups are excluded from that society and that anything that could possibly create divisions between the citizens of a country should be avoided.

…and then BAM! It veers into sick, paranoid, antisemitic hate spewage:

The leaders of some Western democracies frequently urge others to adopt these ideas on the basis that they are the best that have ever emerged from the basic principle of individual freedom. They have imposed an ideological and racist hegemony on a group of societies that runs in parallel with the campaign that the US is waging against Islam and Muslims and whose objective is the disintegration of Middle Eastern countries in order to protect Israel.

Note to President Bush: that politically correct Ramadan dinner at the White House didn’t gain you any friends in the Arab world:

The US president invited Muslim Americans and diplomats from Islamic countries to break their fast at the White House on the first day of Ramadan in a naive attempt to win over the Muslims of the US - expressing his respect for the religion and declaring that his administration will not tolerate discrimination against Muslims. But he didn’t go as far as denouncing Gen. William Boykin, the deputy assistant secretary of defense for intelligence affairs for his insolent attack on Islam.

And what would an Arab News article be without a giant reeking whopper?

Muslims are tolerant because they believe in the three prophets - Moses, Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon them) — therefore they respect Christianity and believe in its teachings.

They respect Christianity so much that practicing it in Saudi Arabia carries a death sentence. With respect like that, who needs contempt?
