Democracy Quote by Muqtada al Sadr

“I seek the spread of freedom and democracy in the way that satisfies God. They [Americans] have planned and paved the ways for a long time, but it is God who is the real planner - and the proof of this is the fall of the American twin towers [...] a miracle from God.” quote by Muqtada al Sadr
