Oh the great Islamic democracy :: Reader comments at Daniel Pipes

Submitted by Prashant (United States), Aug 12, 2011 at 01:48

Dear Dr Pipes:

Reader Shamsuddine advertises that Islam is a great democracy. Yes, indeed, 2% non-muslims in each Islamic country from Morocco to Pakistan live in great democracies. Who can match the democracy in Iran and the democracy in Soudi Arabia. And the democracy in Pakistan is the envy of all other democracies of the world.

No Shamsuddine, if you repeat a lie a thousand times, it will not become a truth. It will not.
