Description[?]:
| Mighty Ones, Qedar is one nation, of many religions, languages, and cultures, united by common history and commitment to monotheism. Religious distinctions are superficial and divisive, and do nothing but destroy the unity of our nation. Ṡedeq believes in the removal of all religious influences from government, so that all Qedarites can work together for the betterment of their nation. Hasdrubaʿl Qadaḣ Baʿal of Ṡedeq |
