If we let them get on with it, a form of democratic Government might emerge in the Middle East. Unfortunately, there are many examples of outside interference when the people choose someone we (or neighbouring countries object to).
AOG: I am sure R1Geezer is made of sterner stuff that be wounded by my retort.

Why don't you write a leter to Obama or Mr Brown that thgey should start with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and perhaps Dubai (UAE) and see what they would say.
However I am sure that you would not find an answer so I better tell you the reason know.
Because we support dictatorship where it suits us and support democracy where that does.
So compare the market and not the mearkat....................Seeeeemple

There are varying degrees of democratic Government. Egypt seems to be democratic as does Turkey.
I am not holding it up as a shining example, but even Pakistan managed to return to some form of democracy last year (After Musharraf's military rule). Musharraf though not democratically elected, has been useful to the US in the War against Terror.

/// Islam and democracy go hand in hand, always have done. People like Geezer and AOG believe the lies they are fed every day by the media. Time they both woke up to what is happening in this country! ///
Then from where do you gain your "extreme knowledge" please tell us?
Is it in your local Mosque during Friday's prayers?
No need to tell us to wake up to what's happening in this country. I can't talk for others, but believe me I definitely know what is happening to this country, and have done for years.

I would like every country in the world to look after their own state and business.
I am English and would especially like our government to stop interfering in the worlds business.
I live in one of the most corrupt ,morally bankrupt countries who's politicians think they have the right to tell other countries how to behave. I want to shout at them GET OUR MESS SORTED BEFORE TELLING OTHERS WHAT TO DO. Britain is the most beautifull place in the world for me, it is just some of the people living here are destroying it bit by bit.

Your post assumes a point of view. Could you help us out by supplying some examples of democratic Islamic states and non-democratic ones.
Then perhaps, we'd be in a position to look at the demographic, historical and racial make up of those territoties to come to a conclusion.
As your question stands, it's a little to broad of answer in any meaningful way. For instance - what 'flavour' of Islam are you referring to? And which countries? Turkey? Malaysia? Afghanistan? Indonesia? Algeria? Kuwait? Morocco?
Should we perhaps stick to hardline extremist Muslim states? What about states which have a high proportion of Muslims, but aren't Muslim states - Brunei? Chad? Burkina Faso?
