Given the current political situation in the Arab world, it seems appropriate to once again to my - admittedly rather sketchy - thoughts on to note the connection between democracy and Islam and the chances of a democratization through intervention I anno already described in 2007 and has had at this point where changed in the meantime, very little.
A small addition was allowed me, however: On the fundamental problem of the double standards of Western democracies, demanding the values that they themselves in this region (due to more or less legitimate security concerns) can not be met are capable, has unfortunately changed little. Probably not because it lacks advisers who know to assess the potential of the region very different situations in the long term correctly, but the political will to integrate them in the political process. Unfortunately, this seems in the case of the Egyptian uprising to confirm once again as EU and U.S. reacted too slowly. The window, so Joshua Stacher is closed and the Egyptian regime is sitting firmly in the saddle .
Supplement II: The persistence and peacefulness of the Egyptian people has paid off and led to the resignation of the president. Whether However, the system itself is so versatile and ready as the protesters hope that is questionable, given the balance of power .
