Democracy and Islam
Dean Esmay is one of my favorite bloggers. Whether he knows it or not, he single-handedly converted me to Natan Sharansky's central thesis on democracy, which I had previously and unfairly dismissed as well-meaning but naive.
Today Dean has a terrific post, rife with figures and data, which illustrates that
- Islam and democracy are not incompatible
- Democratization of Muslim countries is a good thing
- Progress is being made
It's a lengthy post, but well worth your time. I promise.
