I mean that what they have in Islamic culture, is a Theocracy: A government based in 'Supreme religious authority'... Therefore there is no seperation of church and state, which is the corner-stone of our democracy... So, in that situation, you either have a King of a Theocracy. And that is what all of the Arab countries in the middle east have. Either a king or a dictator. Simply incompatible...with free thinking, and equal rights. very fascist really... R.G.
