Democracy in the middle east? Democracy in Egypt?

Peace Peace but there is no Peace

Give me a break.
There can be no functional sustainable democracy in that part of the world, only with great difficulty.
Most followers of Islam neithor need nor desire a democratic republic with a bunch of negative liberties to complicate things.
 Mobs and Tyrants?
I vote yes,  give me more of that, thats what we are use to...
A sustainable democratic republic with a bill of rights and a goal of productive coexistance?
Yeah. Sure, just long enough for me to buy a rocket to cleanse the world of a few evil unbelievers.

Sustainable democracy and productive capitalism?   Naahh.

You might say many followers of Islam just want to live their lives. I say yes that is true.
Unfortunately, many of Islamic  leaders need villians to justify their elite position and power.
And never forget religious demagogery has worked for millenia and continues to work just fine.
Human nature has not changed since Genesis and Judges was first recited thousands of years ago.

Whatever your view on religion might be, one has to acknowledge that the writers of those ancient books knew the truth about what people would and would not do.
