Well, our country has been around for 230 years and we have a long proud tradition of denouncing bad leaders. In the Muslim world, they have a long proud tradition of kissing their leaders' asses, because if they denounce them, they get killed, tortured, or jailed. That's a big difference. I hope you see that, because if you don't, then you don't truly appreciate the incredible degree of freedom Americans enjoy. We weren't talking gov'ts......we were talking religions. You have this habit of tieing Islam with governments. Off the top of my head, there are only two notable Muslim theocracies in the ME.........Iran and Saudi Arabia. The rest are secular. So when we talk of religion that's one thing; gov'ts is another.
