Mohammed Hegazy is a convert to Christianity from Islam. He is currently in hiding, with his converted wife who is with child, because he decided to attempt to get his change in religion officially recognised. For this ¨crime¨ he is being threatened with death. I’m not a fan of any magical belief system, but Hegazy argued he converted because:
“I started readings and comparative studies in religions,” he said. “I found that I am not consistent with Islam teachings. The major issue for me was love. Islam wasn’t promoting love as Christianity did.”
He’s feeling the love now isn’t he?
Anyway, that’s me done for the summer. Take care, and remember you’re just a small collection of chemicals on a small blue dot.
This month’s issue of the Anti-German monthly ‘konkret‘ displays on its title page the end of its hopes that the European Union might limit or domesticate Germany.
‘Germany in the borders of 2017′
‘konkret’ is referring to Germany’s success in establishing a new European constitution that gives Germany double the amount of votes of any other nation, thus allowing it to form practicable majorities by only allying with two other big nations.
Previously, Polish attempts to promote another voting mechanism that would have spread the votes more evenly and prevent German domination, faced overt outrage in both German media and public opinion. Even though Poland declared repeatedly that their aim was to preserve the European Union as a federation of equitable states, Germans accused Poland for damaging the European unification process and advocate nationalist solos.
But Germany not only succeeded in turning the rightful Polish invective against Poland, also, by establishing the position of a European foreign minister, any disagreement in matters of foreign policy can now only be expressed but not put into reality by forming tactical alliances with the US.
With Poland overruled and isolated, Turkey obviously kept in a waiting state for ever, Germany can perpetrate its more aggressive approach to global politics, posing as the ‘nice imperialist from next door’ for the Middle Eastern region, and more thoroughly threatening the global competitors.
