Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The lyrics of the national anthem.
Old value:: "EARTH!" "FIRE!" "WIND!" "WATER!" "HEART!" "Go Allah!" "By your powers combined, I am Allah!" Allah, he's our hero, Gonna take the infidels down to zero! He's our powers magnified, And he's fighting on the Islam's side. Allah, he's our hero, Gonna take the infidels down to zero! Gonna help him put asunder, The morally corrupt infidels that lie and plunder! "Allah! You are the greatest, I bow down in reverance!" We're the Super Ulema! You can be one too, 'Cause praising Allah is the thing to do! Looting and polluting is not the way, Hear what the Prophet has to say! "Allah is your saviour!"
Current:
| It has been a long time oh my weapon! I long for you in my struggle! Speak and say I am awake, Oh war it has been a long time. It has been a long time for the soldiers, Advancing with thunderous roar, Swearing never to return, Except with epoch-making victory. Rise and close ranks, With lives ready for sacrifice. O! the horror that the enemy shall suffer, From you in the fire of the battlefield. O! glory our glory, You who was built by us, By toil and pain, Never to go to waste. Who shall protect Free Kafuristan? We shall protect her with our weapons. Land of the Revolution, who will sacrifice for her sake? We will, with our souls. The people advance like the light, The people stand like mountains and seas, Volcanoes of anger, volcanoes erupting, Earthquakes digging the enemy into their graves. |
Proposed:
| I am Andrew Ryan and I am here to ask you a question: Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his own brow? No, says the man in Washington. It belongs to the poor. No, says the man in the Vatican. It belongs to God. No, says the man in Moscow. It belongs to everyone. I rejected those answers. Instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose... Rapture. |

| Message | You idiot, you may as well do the whole thing: "A city where the artist need not fear the censor, Where the scientist need not be bound by laws of petty morality, Where the great need not be hampered by the small, And by the sweat of YOUR brow, Rapture can become your city as well." Fix once this passes. |
