Hope Springs Eternal in the Arab Spring
Reader comment on item: The Pipes Rule of Arab Elections
Submitted by David (United States), Oct 23, 2011 at 21:06
Many reports tell of moderate Islamists and liberals who only hate Israel moderately. The moderate Islamists only jail adulterers and blasphemers and cut off a few fingers from a thief, and the moderate Israel haters really want to live in peace with Israel once it disappears.
Free elections will bring freedom, within the confines of Islam, i.e., not free.
