A lesson from the Islamic Hadith.

According to the Hadith (collected sayings of the prophet Mohamed) "None of you believes until he wants for his brother what he would want for himself." This sums up my concern about our lacklustre response to the Arab Democratic Awakening. Clearly not all people in Western countries are believers in God, whether they be Jews, Christians or Muslims, and so can be excused for not seeing the common believe in the same God that should unite believers. However reason alone must lead us all, to believe that other people deserve the dignity of a representative government, just as we do.
