You may be right. But why have the Turks managed to have a modern secular state? Troubled state, but far better than any Arab states.

Turks are 99% Moslem, which exceeds many of the Arab states.

<< Democracy and freedom in Iraq will result in an Islamic school system and an Islamic government. >>

If we want Iraq to succeed as a progressive state, with human rights and individual dignity, then we have to get rid of the violent, submissive Islam superstitions, and replace it with Christianity.

It will take time, but a Christian Iraq would be the most advanced Arab nation in the area.
