I met him and sat with him and found out that he's a strict man.He serves the people's moduli and help the people of Odailiya and surra and jabriya. this is not a proof or a clue that he is not a serving and a helpful man. Jamal kel 3eyal al3dailiya especially 3yal block ethnain. My vote is still to Jamal alomar.I think it's adequate that 1898 from the people of area ten voted for him.we're still coherent with Jamal AL-Omar. I think that it is still not a proof that this is a scandal of him. well I say that the man is impartial and a good one too. the question is……did yall socialoze with him?????? ofcourse not.

I'm just not so convinced that having someone swear on the Qur'an is a guarantee that the person will vote the way they are told.

This new parliament that gets elected will determine whether we are on the road to true reform (albeit against the governments true wishes) or whether we will end up have a representation in parliament by MPs which are mostly crooks.

It's really the principle here. By breaking a promise on the Quran, the person swearing is pretty much condemned. Nobody wants to be condemned, it's something we've been taught to fear, condemnation that is. On the other hand, selling your vote is also very naughty in Islam, as is buying votes (cheating), but here I guess it's the lesser of two evils. Should I be condemned to the hellfire or should I vote for him and get a bag? Or maybe not sell my vote at all, but that's no fun! good point sultana. It’s really the principle here.

However, since they are using the Quran to make people swear to go through with something illegal, would it be a sin to break that swear? Kind of like do two wrongs make it right? Also, didn't this Jamal guy take an oath himself at some point in his political career to be ethical and legal? They should just have all the people running in the elections swear on the Quran not to cheat. Thanks for the clarification.
