What if Egypt isn't a triumph for Western values?
Not enough change, and too slow, or too much too soon the complaints of Egyptians are commonplace in democratic societies everywhere. But just as the revolution, with its slogans and songs, had a distinctly Egyptian flavor, so too will whatever form of democracy that emerges from it. It might be one that can accommodate anxious Facebook liberals and well-organized Islamists and even the odd "modernist Salafist" running for parliament.
All wrapped up with a bow. |
