It's called "selective" Democracy which is completely uncompatible with the thought of some Muslim scholars.
The West is able to elect Presidents that go to war, but in the Middle-East they can't even do that.
Look at the US and Pakistan for example. They asked Pakistan to be with them on the "war on terror" otherwise they would be bombed to the stone age. Today these allegations were officially denied. Without knowing what really happened, there is enough doubts to mention the possibility of a complete distorsion between what is being said and what is being done in a Democracy. The best example is in Hungary where people revolted themselves a few day ago as they found out in an audio documentary that their President had lied to them for being re-elected. Our Democracies became corrupted and blood-thirsty of power to protect their capital interests and their ideological rituals (fight for Democracy) without really alarming the people because they share unanimously this vision in their imagination.
For academic principles only I developed after the "fight for Democracies" ("war on terror" for the pessimistics) a doctrine called "The war against the Truth", it is a thinktank shared between Muslims and Westerners, I just developed my own doctrine because I thought it was insulting to come up with something called "fight for Democracies", at least "My fight for the Truth" is not as insulting and represents the appropriate intellectual voltarian response for dishonoring People from different horizon in the name of any ideology. I just share this last vision when I am angry and when I feel that people are being misinformed by the media.
But honestly if the West does not allow to elect the thought of the people, then we are no better than people that comit terrorist acts; and if people cannot be elected or even being represented as political power for Hope, at least the dignity of being represented, then they'll choose the other fight.
We could summarize it this way "do what I say and do not say what I do". It is called arrogance.
Enshallah.
Steven Rix,
Hugo Chavez did an excellent job at the UN elaborating on your principle of "The war against the Truth."
If you look around, you will see that the "fight for democracy" is being lost right here in the US. From intentionally fraudulent electronic voting machines (Diebold for example) to new dictatorial powers given (by Congress!) to the "Decider" to decide, on his own, when you have been naughty or nice. But the blessed American people have no time for such trivia; they are busy watching American Idol.
