Democracy has nothing to do with seperation of church and state.

Obviously he is unaware that there is no separation of Church and state in England. Antidisestablishmentarianism has not been enacted as it has in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland

[h=3]United Kingdom[/h] The Church of England (Anglican church) is still nominally an established church, and the British monarch is the titular head of the Anglican church, and cannot be a Catholic. They are unable to marry a Catholic as well, but there are proposals to change this. In England, Church appointments are Crown appointments, the Church carries out important state functions such as coronations, and a number of high Church officials have seats in the House of Lords (26 out of a total of 789 members), and are known as the Lords Spiritual as opposed to the Lords Temporal. The links between church and state in the UK are, nowadays, mostly a formality and the governance of the UK is relatively secular, although the Lords Spiritual have a significant influence when they vote as a bloc on certain issues, notably abortion and assisted dying. The Church of England however holds no jurisdiction in Scotland. The Church of Scotland is the largest religious faith in Scotland, however unlike the Church of England, it's Presbyterian separate from state
The Church of Ireland was disestablished as early as 1871; the Church in Wales was disestablished in 1920.[SUP][62][/SUP]
As there is no written constitution, there is no constitutional principle of freedom of religious exercise as there is in other countries, such as Germany and the United States. However, under various laws, such as the Human Rights Act 1998 and the Equality Act 2010, religious groups are free to associate, worship, promote and publish their views alongside the established churches.[SUP][63][/SUP]

So you recognized it as a question, regardless of the punctuation, and still made the choice to act stupid.
But I digress.

Did you even read apple's reply? How could he recognize what you wrote as a question with the proper punctuation missing?

Another excuse from one of the "personal responsibility" whiners.

Typically, he attempts to blame apple for his own stupidity.

After all, who's to blame for USF not being smart enough to end his question with the proper punctuation?
 
He took an oath today to respect institutions that have curbed his power, so I don’t know what he can do without a constitution, without a parliament and without clear delineation of what his powers are. Many of us are continuing as if the revolution is continuing and this is just an obstacle in the way,,,,,,,,,,

He struck a rather defiant tone by saying on more than one occasion that the Egyptian people had democratically elected a parliament and that the will of the people must be respected.

He promised the state would be made up of democratic institutions and that the military would return to its bases and its role of defending the country. He promised to strengthen and develop the Armed Forces and to keep Egypt's judiciary independent.

On foreign policy, Morsi said he we would stand with the Palestinian people until they achieved their legitimate rights and sovereignty over their land. He added that he would work to help Palestinian national reconciliation.

Your reading comprehension problem is raising it's ugly head again, I see. I recognized only sentences which is why I wrote, "No, you didn't put a ? at the end of a sentence." (Emphasis added) What I do recognize is you continue to make a fool of yourself rather than just state what question you were trying to ask.
