Ummm, cause that's the only thing I could think of making sense in the context you put it in?

Its not like those people have a choice. Are people in Saudi Arabia supposed to just vote for a new tolerant government?
There was a recent story where a Saudi blogger criticized Islamic clerics there and was sentenced to 1000 lashes and 10 years in prison.
These people are oppressed by brutal regimes, even if they avoid all the religious propaganda they have no voice to lash out with.
And now we have people painting them as being part of the problem because they won't simply speak out.
