Sir Keshav IV Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 "Following the withdrawal of the Islamic Union of Maghreb due to intolerance of a nation, the delegate of Monaco feels this is not good faith of which we joined together to form this parliament. The Mediterranean comprises of two different continents with vastly different countries, religion, culture. From the Islam centre of northern Africa where some of the greatest Kingdoms existed to the Catholic Church. Seeing how [color=#5D5D5D][font=tahoma, arial, verdana, sans-serif][size=2]España isn't willing to tolerate this we find them breaking the very Preamble of this Parliament when we signed it in good faith. As such we motion to expel [/size][/font][/color][color=#5D5D5D][font=tahoma, arial, verdana, sans-serif][size=2]España from the MEMU, ignorant, intolerant governments have no place in a Parliament as vastly as ours.

SpacingOutMan Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 "New Cadia votes [b]nay[/b] against this motion not because it supports some inherent racism, but rather because it is not within the rights of the MEMU to delegate what opinions a certain nation may hold. The fact remains that the de facto state religions that rest in our respective nations remain dominant for particular reason and should they be overturned in rapid progression because of an influx of another religion, opinionated rhetoric will (no doubt) soon follow. We'd also like to point out that Islam is not a race, but rather a religion, which makes a very clear distinction. And to jump to such a conclusion would mastermind a scary precedence within this parliament. In finality, we vote nay particularly because España will still be a Mediterranean state, whether you, we, or some other nation, likes it or not. Instead of acting so petty in response to such charged statements, it would be a better recourse to contact España privately and air your disdain to them. Trotting around the parliament stage insinuating that the entire populace of España are innate [i]racists[/i] because their government disagrees with a particular reason is not, in our mind, justification enough to expel them. Even in history's past, España has had great trials and tribulations dealing directly with Islam. While that doesn't grant them justification to discriminate an entire religion (as a whole), it also doesn't grant us justification to make a brash decision."

Ezequiel Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) "Are you suggesting we are racist toward the same colored and historically indifferent[genetically] peoples, Monaco? We are far from ignorant and intolerant but caring for our people's wishes. We are NOT breaking the preamble of this Parliament because we have an opinion, suggesting otherwise would be hypocrisy. We thank New Cadia for their support in this matter, as for Athens... We do not value a bandwagon." OOC: Wording edit.

[/quote] "The fact is that the opinions of Espana are effectively keeping the Mediterranean Economic and Military Union contained to a single continent, Africa is becoming Islamist and we have to deal with it. However Northern Africa is just as much Mediterranean as is Espana or Athens or New Cadia. This is also in response to false accusations made by Espsna towards Athens about our recent territorial gains on the Iberian peninsula accusing us of imperialism and fraud. While I can live with both accusations they go go against the very spirit of the Union where differences are not voiced in public but in private. As the charter bans us from ruling on the internal matters of Espana the only way to truly voice our opposition is by a cancellation and we can not in good faith sit at the same table as a nation that is willing to destroy Mediterranean unity based on the religion of candidates."

[/quote] "So the straw that broke the camel's back lies in this discussion. We understand this sentiment and were not aware of these accusations. We also agree that, geographically, the Mediterranean comprises of North Africa along with southern Europe, but our point is that instead of reacting to their public statements (which were redacted, though we all heard them say it), we talk it over instead of jumping straight to a vote of expulsion. If, at that point, it's recognized that there is no room for compromise, then New Cadia would support a motion to expel Espana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
