” I would add that Europe had western traditions and was primarily Christian in their faith. Both of these facets helped smooth the transition beginning in 1989. “

Bingo - Mr. Grandy omitted the most damning evidence: when the Soviet Hegemony collapsed, the sections with strong Muslim tradition - Chechnya, the ‘Stans’, Serbia-Croatia, and so forth - are almost universally ‘failed states’, or teetering on the edge....

Christianity is a prerequisite for the modern christian democracy. This fact is too distasteful to fall out of the mouths of the liberal intelligentsia. So now, we are all told and are required to group think and agree with the premise that the coming of democracy in the middle east is just around the corner.

Obama is fiddling for time while the middle east is handed over to the moslem brotherhood.

And we are sitting on our hands with a moslem president named Barak Hussein Obama while Islam marches on. If the president was pro-christian he'd at least go by a western name.

Exactly...great observation and so very true. Islam always ruins countries and the people in them...they know only war IMO and will continue to maintain that stance and keep their people ignorant and submissive.
