Any day of the week, the tyrants of the ME would choose Islamism over western type democracy. Otherwise how does one explain the billions of dollars spend by Saudis to overturn the way of life in the western societies? How to explain Mubarak refusal to allow the growth of democracy in his country?

The combination of ignorance and brainwashing is a highly toxic cocktail. This explains in some ways the violent reactions of Muslim masses when newspapers in the western world publish articles referring to M….d.
