How can people here best support you all?

By spreading the word that Obama and U.S. government are actively supporting the formation of religious states in the Middle East. The U.S. ambassador said that Egyptians should learn the meaning of democracy! Who the fuck is she to say that?

"The secret U.S. overthrow of Mosaddegh served as a rallying point in anti-US protests during the 1979 Iranian Revolution and to this day he is said to be one of the most popular figures in Iranian history. Despite this, he is generally ignored by the government of the Islamic Republic because of his secularism and western manners.

What ever became of the secularist governments of the Muslim counties of Iraq and Libya?

It took the abuses of a Catholic Church to result in a bloody Protestent Reformation http://www.wayoflife.org/database/protestantpersecutions.html eventually leading to a perspective of separating church from state.

So, when will Israel learn?

"Israel's legal system combines three legal traditions: English common law, civil law, and Jewish law." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel#Politics

"Under contemporary Israeli law, however, certain areas of Israeli family and personal status law are under the authority of the rabbinic courts and are therefore treated according to Halakha." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halakha

When will the dictatorship of the Vatican learn?

"Vatican City is an ecclesiastical or sacerdotal-monarchical state, ruled by the Bishop of Rome—the Pope. The highest state functionaries are all Catholic clergymen of various national origins. It is the sovereign territory of the Holy See (Sancta Sedes) and the location of the Pope's residence, referred to as the Apostolic Palace."

When would Tibet learn if it were to be 'free'?

"Prior to assertion of Chinese control over Tibet it was a feudal theocracy headed by the Dalai Lama or a regency and administered by the Kashag, a council of four, and 400–500 officials drawn from the traditional Tibetan aristocracy, Tibetan monasteries, and middle-class families of Lhasa."

Perhaps Israel, the Vatican, and Tibet could all learn from the Muslim country of Turkey.

Perhaps the US could abandon its national White House Christmas tree tradition as well as holding December 25th as being a federal holiday.
