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.
Cause and effect tells me that America's unrelenting support of the Israelis' and their local puppet governments, which have ruled over the region for 30+ years have more to do with the extremism than Islam. These people make on average $2 a day and people here wonder why they fight back and hate the west.

This whole revolution further exposes the utter hypocrisy the west thrives on.
