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:
| My name is Andrew Ryan, and I'm here to ask you a question: Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his 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. A city where the artist would not fear the censor. Where the scientist would not be bound by petty morality. Where the great would not be constrained by the small. And with the sweat of your brow, Rapture can become your city as well. |

| Message | "I believe in no God, no invisible man in the sky. But there is something more powerful than each of us, a combination of our efforts, a Great Chain of industry that unites us. But it is only when we struggle in our own interest that the chain pulls society in the right direction. The chain is too powerful and too mysterious for any government to guide. Any man who tells you different either has his hand in your pocket, or a pistol to your neck." |
