"And they are dedicated to the Islamisation of the west"

We see this comment all the time but it came home to me the other day watching a program on the Elections in Tunisia, the first of the Arab spring countries.

Yes, some in these countires want Sharia law as the basis for all and Islam to be the only basis for how people live BUT it was clearly evident, now that people can speak out in public that a lot of people view the above as going back to the same type of life under the old regime. And it wasn't just women who were saying these things.

So I think in all these countries, you will see a lot of internal strife if and when any democratic elections are held.


My father did many trips to Iran before the Revolution and has always said Iran and it's people are great. I think the majority would prefer much more freedom. It's the hierarchy that is the problem. Just look at the protests a few years ago.

Just my HO.
