well true, muslim-majority countries and ruthless asshole leaders go hand in hand ..

It probably has more to do with dictatorships there is nothing inherently wrong with the religeoun although sometimes perhaps the culture, muslim-americans join the girl scouts instead of practicing suicide terrorism. There is quite a lot of muslims who would prefer to live in a Democracy, they just aren't the ones in power. Don't confuse a lack of education for inherent evil, they have different social classes and educational groupings as well.

how do you explain the universal lack of rational governments in four dozen muslim countries across differing cultures ??

[psych0squirrel.livejournal.com]

Well. First of all. I am assuming you mean the Middle East, North Africa, Asia a bit, and perhaps some muslim majority countries- in Eastern Europe?

These are not regions of the world with good governments. When I judge muslims I base my experiances on normal people, not just the people who are stuck uneducated in dictatorships. They might be a reliegeon with a bit of culture change happening, but its harder for individuals to make a difference over established elites, and harder still for us to hear about it this far away. All such things take time. For that matter. I could say the same thing about our religeous right (except luckily they don't have as much power yet as they'd like) or even the extreme left, you know the people who thinks Bush made a pact with Hitler's ghost or something. It's really not all that hard to find stupid people, the jihadist don't actually have to strap a bomb to themselves, all they need to do is find one idiot- or someone whose desparate and promise to feed his family after he dies. It's a nasty cycle.
