Today marks a great moment in history as Palestinians voted in their first open and free parliamentarian elections in over a decade. While the victor is not yet known this is a very important day as a it will both shape the future of Palestine and the Middle East, but after this the leadership of Palestine can not be questioned by anyone including our government. Up until this point the Israeli government and our own was fond of bringing up the fact that no elections had been held and that Arafat was a terrorist. After this election the leadership that comes about will not be able to be challenged by foreign governments.
I am not stating good or bad about Arafat in this post so please don't waste your time or mine by telling me how bad he was. My one and only point for this post is to congratulate all Palestinians and to wish them the best of luck in the future.
Assalaamu Alaikum
