[A-List] Malaysia: Parti Islam SeMalaysia



It seems the Malaysian PAS vice-president Mustafa Ali understood
the Turkish AKP much better than some western analysts who see
parallels between AKP and the European Christian Democrats. As
Mustafa Ali implies, AKP is not honest: they seem to mask their
fundamentalist agenda. They dumped threatening rhetoric, focused
on earthy issues such as corruption and the economy, and talked
less about setting up a theocratic Islamic state, as mentioned in
the article. Whether they really dumped their fundamentalism is
yet to be seen. The possibility of the US connection of the AKP,
that I suspect without proof, does not rule out that they may
still pursue a hidden fundamentalist agenda.

There was a 1985 song by Alan Parsons Project in their Gaudi
album by the name of La Sagrada Familia. As the lyrics go:

"Who knows where the road may lead us, only a fool would say"

Best,

Sabri

La Sagrada Familia

Written by Eric Woolfson and Alan Parsons

Who knows where the road may lead us, only a fool would say

Who knows if we'll meet along the way

Follow the brightest star as far as the brave may dare

What will we find when we get there



La Sagrada Familia we pray the storm will soon be over

La Sagrada Familia for the lion and the lamb



Who knows where the winds will blow us, only a fool would say

Who knows if we'll ever reach the shore

Follow a rising sun with eyes that may only stare

What kind of fire will burn us there? What kind of fire?

Only a fool would say



La Sagrada Familia the wind has changed the storm is over

La Sagrada Familia for the lion and the lamb

La Sagrada Familia we thank the Lord the danger's over

La Sagrada Familia there's peace throughout the land



Under clear blue skies our voices rise in songs of glory

And for all those years our eyes and ears were filled with tears



Who knows where the world may turn us, only a fool would say

Who knows what the fates may have in store

Follow the light of truth as far as our eyes can see

How should we know where that may be? How should we know?



Then the angry skies, the battle cries, the sounds of glory

And for all those years our eyes and ears were filled with tears



Who knows where the road may lead us, only a fool would say

Who knows what's been lost along the way

Look for the promised land in all of the dreams we share

How will we know when we are there? How will we know?

Only a fool would say



La Sagrada Familia the war is won the battle's over

La Sagrada Familia for the lion and the lamb

La Sagrada Familia we thank the Lord the danger's over

La Sagrada Familia behold the mighty hand

La Sagrada Familia the night is gone the waiting's over

La Sagrada Familia there's peace throughout the land



Until the next time

Until the next time



La Sagrada Familia
