Libyan General Haftar: Libya is not ready for Democracy...

Correction: ME is not ready for democracy.
Correction: Islam is not ready for democracy.
Now i know my comment above has and will open a can of worms but why are the vast majority of muslim majority countries not democratic?Sorry but there seems to be a trend there and i just want to understand the REAL why.
 
.
Democracy existed way before the Greeks... Greeks wrote about it and applied it in a powerfull society...
Democracies could be found in small tribes etc... in writings in mesopotamia... or Berbers tribes in N-Africa... some thousands of years back...

And Greek Democracy has nothing to do with Today ones... it was more like a worst version of Dictatorship of our time...

Democracy, ppl have a say and power in the matter of the state... (+ a rule of law...) with that simple sentence...anything could be seen as a democracy...

The difference between Greece (or Athens) and the primitive democracies or tribalistic
societies you describe is that there was a constitution, rather than traditions which formed the base for laws.
Ancient Greeks only allowed free men to vote, but the key was ”one man, one vote”.

As long as Islamists and terrorist scum keep lurking behind the scene and waiting for a chance to jump to power. The ME will never truly have democracy. As long as this remains the case, democracy wouldn't be just a luxury, it'd be suicide.

I wouldn't only blame "Islamists" for lack of democracy in ME, Egypt itself was a dictatorship under a secular system in most of its modern life.

a while now. A much bigger % of christian countries are democratic. but also let me add that i notice that "democracy" also seems to be more "popular"in white countries,so i think its also the preferred method of governance for the white man. lol.

You are sinking deep...very deep... too deep for your own sanity...
First... those democracies have a Christian history/culture... but they got their Democracy by being SECULAR... they refused the Law of God...
As for the White statement... I can't swim in those water... Ilet you search who is white or Black... or whateve rinbtw you want to add in... your statemnt is...well... anyway...
Democracy is not a preferred governance of White man... It's a preferred sys for certain types of Countries/nations/entities... at a certain time of his/her history...

Democracies as we know it... are 80ish years old... EVEN in "most" those so called White nations...

Sweden was ready about 1720, and the government was a representative democracy until the king took over in a coup 50-60 years later.
See... Thanks for answering my statement... the King is a representative of the Religion sys... therefore no secularism , no true democracy... simple as that

Magna Charta was 1215.
England had its first elected parlament in 1265. It was on and off in periods after that.
France certainly had democracy during the initial phase of the revolution.

Well... Democracy existed way before that... and in different shape and form...
But we are speaking about Democracy as we know it...

That the king is ruling by divine right has been questioned for 500 years,
but religion has been strong until at least 100-130 years ago.
Before that, some kings, but not all tried to use religion.

There used to be a law in Sweden (until 1888) that the local priest had to check up all the people in their parish once per year, so the priest would visit each and everyone and cross-examine to make sure noone turned heretic.

Libya was destroyed by the Islamists and War Lords, after Ghaddaffis dictatorship was brought to an end by NATO.
The NATO action was triggered by Ghadaffis response to the Arab Spring, through repression and murder of Libyan civilians.
