Which coutry do you think operates the best democracy? I think South Africa 100%. We are free to do what we like, practice our religion freely as well. I wear full hijaab as well. We have Jews, Arabs, Indians, Chinese, Blacks all living happily together, respecting each other.

Have you ever lived any place besides South Africa?
I see nothing there that could not be said about almost every Democracy in the world.

I don't think that multiculturalism must mean always good democracy.
This country is dying because of a lack of men, not a lack of programs.

Multiculturalism itself does not make a democracy, true, however it is an important part of it. Not all multicultural societies are democratic, yet all democratic countries (whose population includes minorities) are multicultural.

In Poland 98% of people are catholics and Poles and we are still a democratic society.

America is definitely not a democracy, otherwise Al Gore would have been president.
Also democracy can be just as dangerous as a dictatorship. For example sometimes people can vote for an ultra nationalist communal party like what happened in Gujarat when they elected Narendra Modi and BJP which orchestrated a campaign of murder against the Muslim minority. Also in Netherlands where an ultra nationalist party got alot of votes and wants to ban the Holy Quran (God forbid).

What nonsense.
Democracy is desirable not because it is incapable of generating irresponsible, militaristic, totalitarian regimes, but because it is the only form of self-determination which is capable of avoiding these things. Democracies have the ability to vote the "leader" out of office. Not so with a Mullah-for-life
That individuals have political freedom is a prerequisite for the long-term protection of other freedoms, but it's not a certainty that it will succeed in providing it. People are free to choose to be oppressed, and very frequently do, as the "Palestinians" did, as the Egyptians did.
South africa is a dump. sorry to sound harsh, but the truth does hurt. Crime is worse then in the U.S.A and the poverty their makes the poverty in the U.S look like luxury. The best democracy has to be in America. You are free to do anything you want as long as it is not violent. And if some one or something infringes on your freedom, you can fight back in the court room. ANYONE CAN!!!! the best thing is that if you dont like a law you can fight to change it. Can you do that in South Africa.........
EVERY MUSLIM HAS A PART TO PLAY FOR PEACE... OR REVENGE WILL BE THE LAUGHTER OF OUR CHILDREN.

Obviously you have no understanding of what a Democracy is.
sometimes i think people confuse elections with democracy.
i'm not sure how democratic it is when only multi-millionaires funded by millions of $ from corporations (who often fund both of the mainstream parties) get to be president....
each man thinks of his own fleas as gazelles
question authority

Or in Palestine where Hamas won the elections.
