Nothing to rejoice

There is nothing to rejoice here. Looking at Egypt now, no one in his senses can hope that democracy will take root in the desert sand. The vacuum will be soon filled by a stricter return to stone age islam and stoning-to-death sharia. If anything things can only get worse. Democracy and islam will never mix. It is not a cynical opinion. All the leading lights of islam agree that only their allah can make laws, not humans. Democracy has been called the enemy of islam by almost all of the islamic scholars. NATO is just wasting its time. After intervention in the balkans they have only created thorns in their sides. Same with Libya.
