Just like I cannot judge Christianity based on my impression of you or any other Christian, we should be careful not to judge Islam by the actions of Muslims.

For the record, the concept of nationalism is against the principles of Islam. Also, amongst all the other Muslim countries, many Muslims would agree that Turkey is of the least practicing in Islamic principles because it is a secular society. In other words, Muslims there do a lot of things that they are not supposed to do but that has nothing to do with what Islam means.

Being Greek myself, I notice the ongoing struggle to clarify the difference between Muslims and Islam since many Greeks don't know the difference.

If it looks like it’s going to be McCain/Palin anyway (and that should be a “no brainer” for Team McCain), McCain should announce NOW or VERY SOON, rather than later towards the convention. There’s currently a growing chorus for Obama/Hillary (as VP) ticket (in fact the Dems are likely aware of the Palin phenomenon). If the GOP waits while movement for Hillary as VP grows — even worse until after it is solidified that Hillary will/could be VP pick — selecting Palin will be portrayed by Dems/liberal media more as a reaction by GOP selecting its own female (overshawdoing Palin’s own remarkable assets), rather than McCain taking the lead on this. Selecting Palin now or early (contrary to the punditocracy) will mean McCain will be seen as driving the course of this campaign overwhelmingly, and the DEMS will be seen as merely reacting. And, there’s absoultely no down-side to this because even if Hillary is a no-go as VP for Obama, the GOP gains by acting early. McCain the maverick. Palin the maverick. Do it now!

There’s no reason, and actually substantial negative, in McCain waiting to see what the Dems do first insofar as his picking Palin as VP, because, no matter who Obama picks, Palin is by far (and I mean far) the best pick for McCain and the GOP, especially in this time of GOP woes. The GOP can be seen as the party of real ‘change’ (albeit I hate that mantra, change, change, bla bla), while not really having to change from GOP core conservative values, which Palin more than represents.

In light of the current oil/energy situation, as well as the disaffected female Hillary voters situation, and growing focus on McCain’s age and health, Palin is more than perfect — now.

(Perhaps Team McCain is already on to this.)]]> tag:greeknewsblog.com,2008-05-14:1044250 Demetra 2008-05-14T13:27:48Z 2008-05-14T12:34:48Z
