Hee, haw...just kidding. I love it when you talk like that (and ain't it the truth).
The only time I got confuse was when you said this..."Except Turkey, and Egypt, no Muslim majority country has a sustained democratic tradition."
Do whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?
..."Except Turkey, and Egypt, no Muslim majority country has a sustained democratic tradition."
Indonesia for example, is a 'fledgeling' democracy, Pakistan is presently under 'military rule' via Mushareff, 'sustained democratric tradition' obviously means a democracy that has lasted a little longer than from breakfast until dinner...Egypt is a bit wobbly but the Egyptian government has the same enemies Pakistan and Turkey has; fanatical islamists who want to bring down the government.
Do whaaaaaaaaat? Means whaaaaaaaat?
