Democracy won't work in Muslim dominated countries.

It is my opinion that democracy probably won't work in countries dominated by Muslim thinking, Arab or Persian or otherwise. Islam in general favors the notion that those who disagree with you should be killed or enslaved in the name of Allah... even other Muslims.

Democracy is more than simply a majority electing leadership. Our founders realized that in a pure democracy the "majority" could seriously abuse the "minority", so they promptly tacked a Bill of Rights onto the US Constitution. Without the understanding of, and respect for, fundamental individual rights, democracy is little better than any other form of rule. Various branches of Islam all bent on destroying other Muslims, as well as all "non-believers", with Allah's blessing will not embrace democracy as we know it. - Alan
