To my knowledge, there has only been ONE reasonably free, Democratic country in North Africa or the Middle East in the past 1500 years or so (excluding Israel).
That country was Lebanon, where they had a coalition government of Christians and Muslims. I say WAS, because the Muslims revolted, Syria intervened, and the Democracy in Lebanon vanished.
Islam is incapable of building a Democracy, because the religion of Mohammed denies the existence of free will or free choice. It’s all about submission to a completely arbitrary and irrational god, or his human representatives on earth. Islam and freedom are simply incompatible.
Yep.
If the truth will set you free, what can one say of a "religion" that enslaves you?
