When it comes down to it, whoever controls the military controls the country.

We saw that in Iran in 2009 and we're seeing it in Syria today.

Now it appears that we are also seeing it in Egypt.

Democracy doesn't necessarily work out if you don't have a DEFINED set of LAWS first.

In the U.S. because of the Constitution no one can make Christianity or any other religion the law of the land.

If Alabama or Mississippi could make their OWN laws they'd probably make Christianity the OFFICIAL religion and they'd outlaw most of the others. So religious bias is not confined to the Middle East.
