It always fascinates me to read comments like this in here. Because it shows quite clearly that we all buy into narratives pushed by states. This post says that only winner of democracy in middle east is a fundamentalist religious governments. This is totally untrue. For example Iran, which was way more religious in 1950s managed to establish a secular democracy. It was the foreign intervention that derailed it. The same people who derailed the very democracy then pushed the idea that middle east is not suitable for democracy.
