You have a wrong premise - that Muslims want to be free in the sense of freedom as understood by Western civilization.
The only "freedom" a Muslim wants is to repress people in the name of religion. Ask any Muslim woman, for starters.
I never said that. I just said that they don't like their repressive governments. No matter where you go in the Middle East, that's going to resonate with people, be they secular liberal, or Wahabbi extremist.
Beyond that, there's a vast disparity in what people think should be done, and most people in the Middle East aren't fundamentalists. There are plenty of secular Arabs out there that don't want Islam as part of their government. The only reason that they are so outgunned is that both Islamic extremists and brutal dictators have a stranglehold on the politics of the region, and they tend to reinforce each other's harshness as part of their conflict.
