You might be wondering why I'm writing about this issue 7 months after the elections in iraq, well it's a new blog and I have some catching up to do with the world events.
As for now Iraq is the only democracy in the arab world but will it last? there isn't any precedent of this sort and why is it so?
Well all the arab states are of course muslim states, states who believe in the prophet Mohammed who was the first head of a muslim state called the Oma.
So it must be clear that muslims see the religious leader of the state and the political leader as one and no other arrangement shall be accepted by Islam.
Since islam and democracy do not coincide a fight for democracy in an islamic country is actually a fight against islam and therefore has slim chances to be won.
The real sad thing about the Iraq and Afghanistan wars is that so many soldiers die in fights in a fight for a lost cause as installing democracy in an muslim states.
See ya all soon, maybe with a lighter subject next time.
