anti-government sentiment or a lot of people in the country are you know if we look at the case of sharia law for here the school that he went to the community college they decided that he has issues but then who do you go to if the parents don't want to deal with it is it the government's job you know because instantly we're already seeing people pleading the case for involuntary commitment again so how do you approach it well i know what i think happened. you know first it would be nice to set up a system where if you knew today that somebody in your family or somebody close to you had a severe mental disturbance would you call. who do you call we known to call if somebody in the family breaks a leg or is hit by a car we don't have a system we have a patchwork of different kinds of you know time.

and because they tried to sit down, it violated sharia. now, you remember i told you that jews were considered second and third-class citizens within the muslim mindset. you will recall that i said that they had second and third-class religious rights or those rights given. the feeling was that if jews sat down at the wailing wall, they were demonstrating the right to sit down and sit down without permission. the british were obligated to enforce the pre-exist being status quo -- pre-existing status quo, and when little old ladies tried to sit down in 1928, the british policemen pulled the chairs out from under them to make them stand. now, why would the arabs -- why were the arabs so posed to the jews sitting when they prayed at the wailing wall? because according to arab tradition, the wailing wall is a park, and that is the place -- a bark, and that is the place where mohamed hitched his horse, his wigged horse on -- winged horse on the way to heaven. you've heard of thal axa mosque means the furthest mosque. and when mohamed was going

hard-core islamic groups are pushing for sharia law, which is not about democratization, it's about theocracy. i absolutely believe that there are tons of people in egypt that are genuinely crying out for democracy. and i feel for those people, but i'm not sure what american foreign policy can do to make that reality. host: do you think the secretary of state or the president of the united states should be leery of any sort of agreement between elbaradei and the muslim brotherhood? caller: absolutely. this is what i think. any time cries for democracy, up in the midst of people -- come up from the midst of people who are starving -- i understand that the profit-sharing, because of the diminishing of oil prices -- it is a dangerous atmosphere to try to create a democratic shift and reach. it is ironic to me that the people -- as a book, not all -- and i do not want to make this political -- some who were criticizing the concept of george bush trying to make a shift -- shift iraq in a democratic direction. that had 10 times the possibility of happenings and this does. there is a piece in the wa
