Re: Obama waffles on the Ground Zero mosque (none / 0)

While technically not theocracies, these societies run with Islam at the core. I watched Hosni Mubarak on TV on a number of occasions making speaches to Parliament or the Egyptian people. 'Allah' and 'Islam' were so omnipresent, you'd think he was an Imam.
Regarding Morocco, the royal family claims to descend from Mahomet!

I watched ~~Hosni Mubarak~~[insert favourite US President] on TV on a number of occasions making speaches to ~~Parliament~~Congress or the ~~Egyptian~~American people. ~~'Allah'~~'God' and ~~'Islam'~~'Faith' were so omnipresent, you'd think he was an ~~Imam~~preacher.

And your point is? That the US is a theocracy even before Palin becomes President?

You're right. The United States is a huge country and the world's dominating superpower. Egypt or Moroocco are nothing in comparison.

I believe the Queen of England is so by the Grace of God...
