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 all of these answers. I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose...Rapture. 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. |

| Message | You know, that wallpaper will load fully before being shrunk as a tiny thumbnail, every time someone sees our nation or the list of nations. With 470kb, and at 50 viewers a day, that's 2/3 gig of unnecessarily used bandwidth every month. |

| Message | I'd argue that those 50 viewers would be willing to trade that bandwidth for viewing the Islamic Rapture's jawesometacular nation page. |
