Or are they only manageable under these oppressive one-man regimes?
Re: Do Arabs deserve democracy?
The day arabs turn to democracy...they'll go down so bad...they won't realize what hit them...trust me...they are better of as a monarchy...if the Arabs start even thinking of who they will select to lead in a democracy...it will be a disaster...they are better off as a monarchy...they are doin good with it anyways...
Re: Do Arabs deserve democracy?
Democracy is just like love (Piyar). And we all know “Piyar kiya nahee Jata, ho jata haiy” (you just fall in love).
Arabs haven’t found the version of democracy that they can fall in love with, so the killing, butchering, and suicide bombing goes on.
On another note, Arab intellectuals mostly from Egypt have been totally confused as they follow the two failed models without ever stopping to think for a moment. The two failed models are: Socialism, and Maulana-ism.
They both are based on old and archaic tribal customs that are long dead the way of dinosaurs. But the socialists and Maulanas both pick up the fossilized bones of these models and falsely hope to bring the long dead systems. These simpletons don’t realize that we can bring back other dead systems like Roman or British Empires either. They are all gone with time!
Best regards
Peace on earth
P.S. Arabs followed Baathism too and once it failed, they picked even more degenerate thingy called Maulana-ism.
Re: Do Arabs deserve democracy?
actually most Arab states were left as democracies as they gained independance. Monarchies and dictatorships only spread in response to two events..the formation of the state of Israel ( directly responsible for Nassers ascent to power) and growing US influence..which allowed Arab Sultanates to suppress parliamentry institutions which the British had left behind
Re: Do Arabs deserve democracy?
So you say Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Iraq etc etc were all democracies in the 40s’. Please post a link to support this “divine revelation”.

Re: Do Arabs deserve democracy?
actually no i didn’t say that anti…reread the first sentence of what I said..I said most states.. and those that were occupied by more specifically by the British.
*Iraq was a constitutional monarchy or sorts till the coup in the 1950’s
- Jordan has many of the trappings of a constitutional monarchy..which went more authoritarian especially after the Iraq coup (the spectre of seeing a hashemite relative killed triggered a response)
Even Saudi Arabia made tentative steps towards a majlis e shura.. much of the promotion of the wahabi creed was a reaction to fears of Arab Nationalism destabilising the country.
Re: Do Arabs deserve democracy?
is it not better for arabs to return to their shura type tribal system?It can be their kind of democracy
Re: Do Arabs deserve democracy?
Tell me one thing?
Would brits or any other western power want people power to rule these countries or puppets if they want to get oil cheaper than a bottle of water? 
Re: Do Arabs deserve democracy?
well said..
btw looking at history of arabs i dont see any democracy sort of thing..
its Umayyad’s then Abbasi’s then the othomans
and somewhere there were Fatimid’s or something.
Re: Do Arabs deserve democracy?
Not while Mullahs rule the roost...
Re: Do Arabs deserve democracy?
Arab countries are far from being mullah ruled countries.
It the fault of the socialist leftists as well!
Re: Do Arabs deserve democracy?
The things that are going on in Iraq, if you call this democracy then NO Arabs are better off without this so called democracy.
Thanks but no thanks.
Re: Do Arabs deserve democracy?
They need to get rid of Monarchy as quick as possible. Look what these rulers have done to Arabia. Almost all Arab countries' economies rely heavily on oil, apart from Dubai. They waste their oil money on luxury, when what they should be doing is opening up institutes, put money into R&D, and try to make themselves more sulf-sufficient. When all of this oil is gone, Arabia will be screwed. They are wayyyyyyy too dependent on other nations. More than half of the pilots in Saudi Arabia's Air Force are foreigners, majority being Pakistani. This is how bad these Arabs are. Can't even fly their own planes.
No offence to any Arab.
Re: Do Arabs deserve democracy?
Or, if they want to keep the monarchs, atleast make sure that they aren't corrupt.
Re: Do Arabs deserve democracy?
According to the Hadees, a Mullah is a word referring to a friend of Allah.
Re: Do Arabs deserve democracy?
^^ Are you SURE???
Re: Do Arabs deserve democracy?
Yes I am sure. They also have Britons flying their planes.
Re: Do Arabs deserve democracy?
What is your source???
Britons do because aside from Britain, Sodis have the biggest tornados’ fleet out there..
Re: Do Arabs deserve democracy?
Democracy requires the 'honor code' to work, and that's why it's so functional in the western nations. The third world on the other hand lacks that, including these bedouine nations.
