How Did Mary And Joseph Dress?

MEDITERRANEAN ISLAM IS NOT towards democracy.

While the Maghreb burns and accumulated hundreds of people in their protests against the ruling dictators, the West question I think not without innocence, if no is time that democracy comes to the land of Islam. Some European politicians and journalists try to compare current events with the fall of the Berlin Wall two decades ago.

These statements are very risky. Attempts democratization in Muslim countries have a long tradition of failure. Trying to mix democracy with Islam, while respecting the fundamental principles of both systems, is wanting to combine authoritarianism and lack of freedom with respect to citizenship and their right to participate in the political life of a country. It is a recipe impossible, because the first thing just to devour the latter. The resulting disaster is insured and, sometimes, the more repression than before the attempt at liberalization.

now striking silence of the European left, member, philanthropist, willing and defender of Islam. Who made the war in Iraq their main strategy to try to topple a government in Spain and further pierce the ideological foundations on which rests the West, now kept silent indifferent to those killed in the riots from Egypt to Morocco. A strange silence, because the left is not usually how are you miss opportunities to profit from confusion.

As an example of how complicated this situation of unrest, one of the most striking photos of the demonstrations in Morocco that have appeared in digital media is the one that shows a young man demonstrate against Mohamed VI wearing a shirt bearing the likeness of Che Guevara. Is it a classic case of ignorance that still believes in the romantic left and the legend of hero forged around this murderer? Is it a declaration of intent, showing by symbols that some want to leave Islamic dictatorships to fall into communist dictatorships?

Similarly, the beginning of the protests in Egypt was based on popular protests demanding an end to a regime, but were not slow in joining, although still remaining in the background, religious leaders who advocate the application of Islamic law as the Sharia, based on the Koran and applying the strangulation of freedoms as effectively as terror.

Islam on the Mediterranean coast is now at the crossroads of deciding whether moves towards democracy or towards radicalization. Each of these countries with their own particularities, is in tension caused by their own interests, Western interests, religious and political. It is too early to guess at an end.
