In episode 12 , Massoud Rachmadi mentioned to be a "rasul" in translation....! (rasul=prophet"messenger from The God) Well, that's not true because NO PROPHETS AFTER (Muhhamad),also,the original japanese movie mentioned his full name as "Rasa Massoud Rachmadi" ,not "rasul" as a title. To prove it,here is the original text from "Wikipedia" about him: "Massoud Rachmadi (マスード・ラフマディー) Voiced by: Shinya Fukumatsu An Imam in Azadistan with strong influence in the conservative factions of the Azadistani Parliament. Known as "Rasa" among the conservative factions, when Marina decided to accept the role of princess, he volunteered to become her opposition in order to contain the conservatives from getting radical and violent. His sudden abduction by Ali's forces had touched off a coup d'état with radical elements of the Azadistani army leading it against Marina and the rest of her reformist-leading government. He was later tracked down and rescued by Setsuna, Lockon and Hong Long, and returned to make a joint statement with Marina, which temporary quelled the rebellion." you can visit Wikipedia to be sure.^_^ Hello everyone, please read my reply cuz it’s very important.

It reads exactly like something Jason Miao would have written, right down to the pointless Sunrise bashing and the Miss Wang comment. Not the way to go if you have a bone to pick with the series over something. Maybe it is written by someone who is lucid enough to see through the half-assed attempt to insert half-assed politics in hope to make it "OMG SO COMPLEX!"? Not everyone is impressed by Sunrise's efforts to give this dimension, you know. >> What exactly is up with this article.

I think he'll win his people over. It's what they do in these shows, ainnit? "since the Qur’an is God-dictated, there can be no translations, only ‘interpretations’ into other languages. " Yep, Japanese and Japanese for this show. Kinda funny how that works. ;) "So it takes three Azadistani to burn a flag, one to do it and two to shoot wildly into the air…" I'm just curious as to why the burner is wearing the all-blue outfit. Guess the most stylish one gets the cake (and the privilege)? And that was really awkward, what with Saji and Louis' MOM for goodness sakes! You'd think...ah never mind, I guess ya wouldn't know what to think anymore. It's a small world after all, it's a small world after all... “No doubt the end of episode 13 Azadistan will forget about God and bow down before Resurrected Gundam Jesus…”

It is a common name around the Middle East, though. It just amuses me that Shirin is Farsi for “sweet”. It is a common name around the Middle East, though.

But I am not a theologian or a Religious Studies student, so I may have that wrong. Perhaps in Sunrise's future English dominates the Middle East as a spoken language and Arabic has become a religious language akin to the Catholic use of Latin. Sounds far-fetched to me, but then this is a series about robots slicing each other up. I await Setsuna's metamorphosis into Gundam Jesus with bated breath. Or not.
