I don't watch Fox News I just collect facts. Facts are that almost every middle eastern country is rated very low on the democracy scale,

I wonder why that is? cause and effect would tell me that Islam (at least how it is practised in the Middle East) and democracy are incompatible. I haven't said that it is forbidden by the Koran, in fact it might even be permitted, but no moderate Islamists seem to be able to run a country fro very long.
