#1 Moslems are not very good at "democracy". Mohammed had a problem with it too.
It just never seems to catch on with Moslems. They prefer stinky old boots and everybody all in a line with their butts in the air.

#2 Actually what Mohammed faced was tribal anarchism. Kinda hard to take over the known world with that.

#3 Looks like lights are going out all over Egypt as the kids and dreamers that got rid of Mubarak are waking up to the realization that life under Sharia as the MB wants to interpret it is going to be very harsh.

So much for elections.

Every time you let the Moslem clerics and fanatics get involved, democracy goes out the window. It is time they learn the interpretations of the Quran need to be updated. You cannot function in the 21st century with a 7th century mindset.

#4 I dunno Bill. They seem to be functioning well enough to cause trouble everywhere.
