Afghan Whispers: Hamas, Democracy and Cartoons · Global Voices
Fred Petrossian

Afghan Warrior  explains the reasons why Hamas won election:
“The Islamic Hamas party have won the election in Palestine and their victory was unexpected to some countries and they showed their concern over the victory of Hamas party. In my opinion now we should admit their victory because they were selected by Palestinian people. The Hamas party has been helping the poor Palestinian people and therefore people voted for them”.
Dialogue 3 says Afghan people are not ready for democracy because the majority of them are poor and illiterate. The first thing they want is security and then daily bread. The blogger says most people did not participate in Afghan parliament’s election. According to him, economic growth is needed first to lead country to democray. (Link in Persian)
Niko Bad ( Good & Evil) writes that the Muhammad cartoons in the Danish newspaper wanted to give a violent image to Islam & Prophet which is not acceptable for anyone and Moslems have the right to be upset. He disagrees with violent demonstrations and says burning flags and embassies are not acceptable and this kind of behaviour will just reinforce the message of the cartoons. (Link in Persian)
