Gheddafi and Islamic Reform.
I congratulate Gheddafi for his strong stand, against Rebels stirred by internal religious or ideological factions (i.e., use extremely sophisticated yet still derelict Lebanon as an example, or Pakistan ), although he represents, until further notice, my traditional, historical opponent, in relation to my being a Christian and a Westerner.
I agree with Islamists that the West is also in a great need of moral/ethical Reformation, and that Democracy-american- style is extremely degenerative and corrupting of human societies.
Monarchic Democracies ( i.e., of the Magna Charta-inspited Westminster System) such as Australia and Great Britain, etc. are in a different bracket from the banana/Mafiose Democratic Republics led by the U.S.A., a classical example being Italy and the Balcans, since the Monarchy is a politically neutral power that can balance the excesses and corruption of Parties.
That is the philosophy behind the calling of investigative Royal Commissions.
America and similar nations cannot benefit from such a parallel power within itself.
.............................................................
As a Theologian ( my field is Applied or Practical Theology not the wasteful, academic Mambo-Jumbo type, although I can easily and powerfully Mambo Jumbo too if required, as shown in my Theological Essays, when a student ) I am a strong advocate of the Unity of the three peoples of the Books ( to use a happy phrase of blessed Mohammed when in one of his rare good moods ), inclusive of Jews, Christians and Moslems.

On the basis of the above comments about Gheddafi and of my dream for Unity, I would like to think and hope that Gheddafi could be a Reformer of Islam, beginning with Libya, applying himself to inspire the Libyan Clergy, calling to Libya all those among the World's Islamic Clergy, favorable to such a reform to begin studies leading to reforms in the interpretations and Theology of the Q'uran and Sharia Law etc., in order to achieve mutual religious respect and peace between the three great branches of Monotheism.
Such a reform requires indeed a very strong and determined hand.
Europe should of course support Gheddafi were he to enbark in such a worthy project.
Allelujah et Ahem!
