Islam and democracy

"Moderate Muslims must show that the two are entirely compatible
"

"Democracy’s failure to take root in key Arab Muslim countries is a sign not of incompatibility but of work still to be done and the durability of dictatorships. Europe should seize the Turkish opportunity to show the world the true depth of its tolerance — and it should ask itself tough questions about why Washington rather than Brussels conceived of this weekend’s conference in Rabat."
