Democracy: Theory and practice.

Hi everyone. My appology for not being able to post in Arabic. It's because my computer lacks the tools necessary to write in Arabic. I hope this won't last long. I'll appreciate your help in telling me where I could find Arabic version of Windows and Arabic keyboard in Canada.
The post by sis rummana about the rules set by the board committe to warrant a healthy and fruitful discussion turned my attention to the whole democratic process. In theory Democracy is the rule of people...all people. Practicly all people can't rule and hence the need for some people to rule in name of all people has become the solution. But the problem hasn't been solved yet. Who are the "All people"? and who are the "Some people".
The defnitions of these two terms vary in time, place and ideology. In early times of Greeks women and slaves are not part of the definition of both terms and hence they were not allowed to either elect or be elected. The Romans limited the " some peole" to the land lords and nobles. In Islamic Khalifa's states the bay3a of group leaders to the khalifa represent the consent of all muslims. The Khalifa-to-be should meet the rquirements of the khilafa such as: muslim, male, Arab,..etc. Some added a condition that the khalifa should be from the tribe of Quraish and others went far and insisted in the khalifa being from Hashim beit.
In modern political history the communist states defined the voters and electorals as being members of the communit parties. The capitalist states in one time excluded non tax payers from the democratic process.
As we see from the above examples rules and laws govern democracy aren't always the same. For efficient democracy rules should be set and agreed upon by the ruled mass...this is called in today terms constitution. But still the ratio or percentage of approval is controvesial. Generally people say fifty plus one is democratic...this of course leaves 49% unhappy. Some suggest that for essential matters such as seperation of one region from the mother land and issues that affect the human rights of certain groups the ratio should be two third.
My conclusion that democracy isn't a process that pleases every and each individual. It's the only working and generally accepted formuala nowadays. Democracy isn't a perfect science. It always needs to be modified to fit in a particular social environment. Democracy if not understood by both the ruled mass and politicians and tailored to accomodate the cultural values of a society, might fire back and turn into a destruction tool.

Dear Elkawad,
I'm still waiting for your reply. I checked your web site a minute ago and my curiousity led me to read your profile. I have no problem with your family tree. But I have a question: did Osman ibn 3afan have a son called 3amru?. If the answer is yes, who was his mother?. I'd appreciate your answer.
best regards
